Humanum is about the human: what makes us human, what keeps us human, and what does not. The journal is driven by the central questions of human existence: nature, freedom, sexual difference and the fundamental figures to which it gives rise, man, woman, and child. Humanum probes these in the context of marriage, family, education, work, medicine and bioethics, science and technology, political and ecclesial life. It sifts through the many competing ideas of our age in order to “hold fast to what is good” and let go of what is not. In addition to articles, witness pieces, and book reviews, ArteFact: Film & Fiction searches out the human in the literary and cinematic arts.
Humanum is published as a free service by the Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and Family in Washington, D.C.
