She presents a case for human beings becoming fully themselves through their encounter with God, after the pattern of Christ, but also through their relationships with each other and with other animals. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Drawing on classical sources, particularly the work of Thomas Aquinas, Deane-Drummond explores various facets of humans and other animals in terms of reason, freedom, language, and community. In probing and questioning how human distinctiveness has been defined using philosophical tools, she engages with a range of scientific disciplines, including evolutionary biology, biological anthropology, animal behavior, ethology, and cognitive psychology. The result is a novel, deeply nuanced interpretation of what it means to be distinctively human in the image of God.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Celia Deane-Drummond\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802868673\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802868671\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e William B.
