Is there a genetically determined core of humanity that unites us all as members of a single species? Or is the thing we call human nature a social construct? And how do we explain the mystery of human creativity? Do great writers have an intuitive grasp of what makes human beings tick, or are they merely the mouthpiece of contemporary culture?\u003cbr\u003eIt has been claimed that \"the greatest enterprise of the mind has always been and always will be the attempted linkage of the sciences and humanities\" (Edward O. Wilson). This groundbreaking book marks the beginning of a new dialogue between the two. Rather than focusing on the division between them, it shows that the sciences and humanities have much to learn from each other. Points of disagreement remain. Yet there is in this volume a genuine attempt to bridge the gulf that has traditionally separated the sciences and humanities and to reach a better understanding of what it means to be human.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robin Headlam Wells, Johnjoe McFadden\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0826485456\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826485458\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/30\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.78h x 5.40w x 0.86d","brand":"Robin Headlam Wells","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44059909456127,"sku":"9780826485458","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ed2748f9-2b07-4dc7-9132-71c1742b034c.jpg?v=1685060966","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/human-nature-robin-headlam-wells-9780826485458","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
