He is even the atheism of the atheist. Both these activities are simply different modes in which human beings create order out of the chaos in which they find themselves. Such is the humanist view.

Some of the courses we plan to offer at Qupqugiaq School are not normally found in course catalogs, because they do not fall into any academic tradition. They do not have a message or a structure which can be studied in a systematic way, so they are not included in the accepted history of ideas. A less gentle suggestion is that it is precisely because they contain the most wisdom that they are excluded. In any case, they are ignored, eventually falling into oblivion. If we are lucky enough to discover these works on our own, we are condemned to reading them privately, struggling to make sense of their challenges and demands.
