HUMANITARIANS

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 872 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HOR-I25
HUMANITARIANS , a
term
  applied (I) to a school of theologians who repudiate the
doctrine
  of the Trinity and hold an extreme view of the person of Christ as simply human. The adoption of this position by men like Nathaniel Lardner, Joseph
Priestley
  and Theophilus
Lindsey
  in the middle. of the 18th
century
  led to the
establishment
  of the first definitely organized Unitarian churches in England. (2) It is also applied to those who believe in the perfectibility of man apart from superhuman aid, especially those who follow the teaching of Pierre Leroux (q.v.).
The name is also sometimes given to the Positivists, and. in a more general sense, to persons whose
chief
  principle of action is the desire to preserve others from pain and discomfort.
