Description
This book offers a penetrating analysis of issues raised by the perennial question, ‘Are We Special?’ It brings together scholars from a variety of disciplines, from astronomy and palaeontology to philosophy and theology, to explore this question.
Contributors cover a wide variety of issues, including what makes humans distinct from other animals, the possibilities of artificial life and artificial intelligence, the likelihood of life on other planets, and the role of religious behavior.
A variety of religious and scientific perspectives are brought to bear on these matters.
As a whole, the book addresses whether the issue of human uniqueness is one to which sciences and religions necessarily offer differing responses.
