New Humanist is a quarterly[1] magazine, published by the Rationalist Association in the UK,[2] that focuses on culture, news, philosophy, and science from a sceptical perspective.[3]
History
The New Humanist has been in print for 131 years; starting out life as Watts's Literary Guide, founded by C. A. Watts in November 1885.[4] It later became The Literary Guide and Rationalist Review (1894-1954), Humanist (1956-1971) and the New Humanist in 1972.[5]
Notable columnists have included Laurie Taylor,[6] Simon Hoggart[7] and Sally Feldman.[8]
In 2003 Hazhir Teimourian, a reviewer for the magazine, quit over a controversial cartoon depicting Christ slumped in the arms of the Virgin Mary.[9]
In 2005 Caspar Melville took over as managing editor of the magazine and CEO of the Rationalist Association.[10] Daniel Trilling assumed the position of Editor in 2013.[11]
