Reviews

There is probably no more contentious a subject matter today than the seminal question as to what constitutes and makes each of us a person . . . This book does not offer a watertight definition to what is one of our most complex and far-reaching debates. Such a goal is beyond the scope of this book. What it will do, however, is show that the different disciplines have much to learn from each other as well as richly resource the theologian, scientist and psychologist in what is rapidly becoming one of the most problematic issues in the 21st century. <br>--Science & Christian Belief 14.1 (April 2002)

""The present collection shows the richness of the debate on the biocultural paradigm of the embodied, relational being of the human person. It is a debate characterised by great openness, intellectual toughness, and imagination."" --Interdisciplinary Science Review 27.1 (2002) ""There is probably no more contentious a subject matter today than the seminal question as to what constitutes and makes each of us a person . . .
