Conversations on Human Nature, featuring 20 interviews with leading scholars in biology, psychology, anthropology, philosophy, and theology, brings these debates to life for teachers, students, and general readers. The book-outlines the basic scientific, philosophical and theological issues involved in understanding human nature;-organizes material from the various disciplines under four broad headings: (1) evolution, brains and human nature; (2) biocultural human nature; (3) persons, minds and human nature, (4) religion, theology and human nature; -concludes with Fuentes and Visala's discussion of what researchers into human nature agree on, what they disagree on, and what we need to learn to resolve those differences.Philosophical anthropologyHuman beingsScholarsInterviewsPhilosophical anthropology.Human beings.Scholars128Fuentes Agustin1123665Visala Aku1860992MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910975144703321Conversations on human nature4467005UNINA
