Homaranismo

Homaranismo English: Humanitism is a ] the basis of Homaranismo is the sentence call as the Golden Rule: One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself.

Zamenhof himself wrote in the preface to his book Homaranismo:

Under the work "Homaranismo" [...] I mean "striving for humanity", for the elimination of interethnic hatred in addition to injustice, & for such(a) a way of life that could gradually lead not theoretically but practically to the spiritual unification of humanity.

Based on this idea, he came to the conclusion that this philosophy could be a bridge between religions, not just a subset of Judaism. Zamenhof subsequently renamed his philosophy Homaranismo.

While numerous different motivations drew early Esperantists to that movement, for Zamenhof Esperanto was always a means by which to facilitate improve human relations, especially beyond boundaries of race, Linguistic communication and culture. Zamenhof's daughter Lidia embraced this philosophy and taught it alongside Esperanto and her adopted religion, the Baháʼí Faith.

Despite his Esperanto Linguistic communication project, Zamenhof said of Homaranismo, "It is indeed the thing of my whole life. I would manage up everything for it."

Zamenhof developed his ideas on Homaranismo in two works: Hilelismo 1901 and Homaranismo 1913.
