Political Humanism
A framework for governance beyond left and right
A modern moral philosophy, governance theory,
and political–economic framework focused on
maximising human well-being in the 21st century.
Political Humanism begins from a simple premise: that the purpose of politics is not ideological victory, but the sustained improvement of human life. It offers an alternative to the exhausted left–right paradigm by asking how societies can design institutions—democratic, legal, economic, and social—that demonstrably improve human flourishing.
Developed by Reggie Adams, Political Humanism integrates moral philosophy, constitutional theory, institutional design, and macroeconomic reasoning into a single, coherent framework. It defines societal success through measurable outcomes in areas such as democracy, health, education, justice, economic stability, and environmental sustainability.
This site provides an overview of the framework, access to published and working papers, and information for editors, researchers, and institutions interested in further engagement.

The Political Philosophy
Political Humansim is founded on the study of the human condition and the individual's relationship to the society around them, how this relationship has developed over the course of human history and even looking at ourselves as a pack mammalian specie. As we have collectivised into societies we have manifested consistent ideas and institutions in order to best organise a general increase in human well-being.
I have drawn up 12 distinct parameters for how we may precisely measure Human-Wellbeing, it becomes a formula - HWix12. When you look at politics from the perspective of Political Humanism and specifically HWix12 it becomes very clear just where we need to concentrate our resources, what our arguments and discussions should be there to achieve and how we can best organise ourselves to around our collective societal aims. The political process then becomes more of a collaborative effort that a collision of ideas once we can find agreement with our shared societal aims and also agendas that do not lead to a general rise in well-being have to be exposed and abandoned as inefficiencies and corruptions of the process.
