New Humanist Summer 2026

First published in 1885, New Humanist is a quarterly magazine of ideas, science and culture. What grabbed us about this issue… This is the toxic beauty issue, which questions whether we are pushing our bodies too far. If you enjoy longer reads, there's a feature on the rising use of testosterone treatments for men worth a look. If you're more interested in culture, there's a piece following a philosopher's experience with psychedelics. We also enjoyed a column exploring the poetry of Iran's diaspora. Who's New Humanist for? New Humanist is one for when you're seeking a bit more connection to the world around you. Think of it as a way to stay across the latest ideas in science, politics and culture, with articles that don't assume much prior knowledge. It's one to reach for when you have a bit of time to yourself - the crossword at the back is worth saving room for too! Type: Long-form, considered read Pages: 74 Instagram: @newhumanist
