The way this article uses the word "humanist" had me quite confused for a few paragraphs. It doesn't match the use of the word that I'm familiar with.[0] I think it's using the word as in "academics involved in the humanities"; hopefully my note will help some other people who had a similar initial reaction.

- therealdrag0 12y agoOh interesting. I was thrown also by the use. Just looked it up and found: "3a. A classical scholar. b. A student of the humanities. 4. Humanist A Renaissance scholar devoted to Humanism." [0] So I guess it's a pretty major use of the word. [0]http://www.thefreedictionary.com/humanist http://www.thefreedictionary.com/humanist
