Humanism is "the radical idea that you can be good without a god". That's how Roy Speckhardt, the longtime executive director of the American Humanist Association, defines it. His new audiobook, Creating Change Through Humanism, lays out how and why people can lead moral and ethical lives without belief in a higher power. While surveys show that more and more Americans are giving up on religion, merely abandoning traditional religious faith is just one step on a path to a better way of thinking.

Anlass zur Sendung ist der 200. Geburtstag von Karl Philipp Moritz am 15. September 1957. Arno Schmidt rechnet den Dichter den "Schreckensmännern" zu, Außenseitern der Literatur, die durch "das Missverhältnis zwischen dem Geist erster Größenordnung und seiner armseligen Umgebung" zu Sprechern des Vierten Standes werden. Anhand seiner Autobiographie "Anton Reiser", "ein Buch, wie es kein anderes Volk der Erde besitzt", geht er dem Lebensweg des Dichters nach, vor allem der von Lieblosigkeit, Armut und Krankheiten verdüsterten Jugend, in der sich das Kind vollkommen nach innen wendet und die Gabe der Selbstbeobachtung schärft.
