{"product_id":"science-virtue-and-the-future-peter-augustine-lawler-9781498525220","title":"Science, Virtue, and the Future of Humanity","description":"Science, Virtue, and the Future of Humanity addresses each of the key public policy issues of our techno-future from the perspective of deeply informed and philosophically inclined public intellectuals. Among the issues addressed are the detachment of our idea of justice from any credible foundation; Tocqueville's prescience on how a \"cognitive elite\" might be the aristocracy to be most feared in our time; robotization and the possibility of being ruled by morally challenged robots; organ markets; the degradation of liberal education by obsessive techno-enthusiasm; biotechnology and biological determinism; the birth dearth and the inevitable erosion of our entitlements; the possibility that our techno-domination is basically an unfolding of the Lockean logic of our foundation; and the future of the free exercise of religion in an aggressively libertarian time. All in all, this book should provoke widespread discussion about the relationship between scientific\/technological progress and the one true moral\/spiritual progress that takes place over the course of every particular human life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Augustine Lawler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1498525229\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781498525220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lexington Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/14\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Peter Augustine Lawler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48065651704063,"sku":"9781498525220","price":57.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fdc5e887-5a42-45e8-91dc-2762906ad583.jpg?v=1768676376","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/science-virtue-and-the-future-peter-augustine-lawler-9781498525220","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
