Center for Inquiry
International Transnational
A Global Federation committed to science, reason, free inquiry, secularism,
and planetary ethics. The Center for Inquiry is a daring new concept.
Although modern world civilization is based upon the achievements of
science and technology, until this time there has been no authoritative and
credible voice defending the scientific outlook in examining religion, human
values, and the borderlands of science. If the naturalistic outlook is to
supplant the ancient mythological narratives of the past, it needs a new
institution devoted to its articulation and dramatization to the public. The
Center for Inquiry is that institution. The purpose of the Center for Inquiry is
to promote and defend reason, science, and freedom of inquiry in all areas of
human endeavor. The Center for Inquiry is a transnational nonprofit 501(c)(3)
organization that encourages evidence-based inquiry into science, pseudoscience,
medicine and health, religion, ethics, secularism, and society. Through
education, research, publishing, and social services, it seeks to present
affirmative alternatives based on scientific naturalism. The Center is also
interested in providing rational ethical alternatives to the reigning paranormal
and religious systems of belief, and in developing communities where like-minded
individuals can meet and share experiences.
