Are we right to think so? In this book Michael Ruse explores these questions in religion science and philosophy. Some people think that the world is an organism - and that humans as its highest part have a natural value (this view appeals particularly to people of religion). Others think that the world is a machine - and that we therefore have responsibility for making our own value judgements (including judgements about ourselves). Ruse provides a compelling analysis of these two rival views and the age - old conflict between them. In a wide - ranging and fascinating discussion he draws on Darwinism and existentialism to argue that only the view that the world is a machine does justice to our humanity. This new series offers short and personal perspectives by expert thinkers on topics that we all encounter in our everyday lives.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: A Philosopher Looks At Human Beings\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Ruse Michael (Florida State University)\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781108820431\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 222 Pages, Worked Examples Or Exercises\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 5\/20\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\nSeries: A Philosopher Looks At\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Human Biology","brand":"Ruse Michael (Florida State University)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49612857639217,"sku":"IN-G-9781108820431","price":12.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781108820431.jpg?v=1724461912","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781108820431-a-philosopher-looks-at-human-beings","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
