Changing Human Nature

ISBN: 0802865496
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
As debate over the manipulation of human genes rages in the public sphere, James Peterson offers an informed Christian defense of genetic intervention. In Changing Human Nature he pointedly reminds us that the question we need most to consider is not whether our genes will undergo change but whether we will be conscious of and conscientious about the direction of that change. Drawing from the biblical tradition, Peterson argues that human beings have a unique capacity and calling to tend and develop the natural world - including themselves, their bodies, and their genes - as God's garden. While carefully addressing legitimate religious concerns, Peterson's theologically grounded yet jargon-free discussion puts forth clear and specific guidelines for the proper use of genetic intervention to help people. Distinctive for its nuanced approach, Changing Human Nature will fill the need for a thoughtful, positive Christian perspective on this timely topic. Book jacket.

Book Description
Having done this research in my college days, I developed this theory of the nature of man, after many years of previous study of the Scriptures. When confronted with seemingly incompatible theories of psychology, philosophy, and theology, I had to find a way to make sense of it all in light of my faith. Much of the inspiration for this theory comes from Scripture and is compatible with the Christian faith and world view.

Beast and Man
Author: Mary MidgleyPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134438451
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
Philosophers have traditionally concentrated on the qualities that make human beings different from other species. In Beast and Man Mary Midgley, one of our foremost intellectuals, stresses continuities. What makes people tick? Largely, she asserts, the same things as animals. She tells us humans are rather more like other animals than we previously allowed ourselves to believe, and reminds us just how primitive we are in comparison to the sophistication of many animals. A veritable classic for our age, Beast and Man has helped change the way we think about ourselves and the world in which we live.
