Abstract
Humanism is established in philosophical reflection, as a goal and superior value in the world, motivating with it an interest centered on man and everything that is human. The maximum concern of man must be man himself, constituting himself in the ideal to develop in each individual the human. In general terms, humanism is defined as the attitude centered on the interest of the human, in the full development and well-being of what man is, from the biological, psychological, social, cultural and spiritual perspectives.
