Why “eupraxophy” is a great word
EUPRAXOPHY — [Noun] A life stance offering an ethical and cosmic perspective grounded solely in human experience and reason, without appeal to the supernatural. Coined in 1989 by Paul Kurtz from Ancient Greek: eu- ("good, well"), praxis ("practice, conduct"), and -sophy (from sophia, "wisdom"). Unlike theology, which grounds its principles in divine revelation, or philosophy, which may vanish into abstract speculation, eupraxophy is a deliberately practical, secular framework for living. It is the quiet purpose of tending a garden without promise of paradise, the measured awe of an astronomer contemplating a nebula, and the deliberate comfort of a hand placed on another's shoulder—a compass for those who find the universe vast enough without ghosts.
