Reviews
The argument is simple, clearly written, broadly documented, and conceptually careful: the naturalism that converts scientific method into metaphysics cannot provide a theoretically cogent and compelling basis for our commitment to human rights, the dignity of every person, and equality. The case is often made in the words of Darwin, Marx, and Nietzsche themselves. The retelling from the slave revolt in morality , retold from a biblical perspective, is stunning. * Merold Westphal, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy Emeritus, Fordham University *
