Hardback. Zustand: Good. This book explores one of the great questions of our time: How can we preserve our sense of what it means to be a person while at the same time accepting what science tells us to be true--namely, that human nature is continuous with the rest of nature?

Hardback. Zustand: Good. A philosophical case against religious violenceWe live in an age beset by religiously inspired violence. Terms such as ?holy war? are the stock-in-trade of the evening news.
