In this book, Mary Midgley challenges the prevailing notion that science can answer all of humanity's fundamental questions. While science provides valuable insights into the world around us, Midgley argues it cannot fully explain what it means to be human. She emphasizes the importance of poetry, literature, music, history, and even theology in helping us understand our humanity. Her argument, celebrated for its clarity and power, insists that these creative and reflective domains offer essential perspectives that science alone cannot provide. In this influential and accessible book, Midgley presents a compelling case for a broader, more holistic approach to human understanding, blending philosophical depth with engaging readability.
