Society of Humanity (Persian: جامع آدمیت, romanizedJāmeʿ-e Ādamīyat) was a pseudo-Masonic group in Persia, active from 1904 to 1908.[1]

Inspired by the radical positivism of Saint Simon and the liberal humanism of Auguste Comte, it played an important role in the Persian Constitutional Revolution.[2]
