Logical decisions are based on probability, value, and the limits of exceptability. This in depth understanding of how we make decisions in our lives is invaluable, yet only humanism explores it as an aspect of philosophy for the common person. The interaction between truth and logic that occurs when decisions are made is commonly known as the scientific method. Democracy is another important decision making process to humanism in which people share equally in the power of self governance. One of the universal human values that is of primary importance to logic and the humanist philosophy is truth.
Truth is reality and reality is what concerns the humanist.
The truth is valued very highly by humanists as the building blocks of a healthy life and a healthy society. Humanists are unafraid to explore the possibilities of truth whatever changes it may elude to. Balanced and universal human values are the second general realm of humanism. These values are structured by priority and are compromised approprietely when conflicts between them arise. These are the values which everyone no matter who you are or what your situation would be a value.
