The Human Project, Fifth Edition (5th Edition)

The Human Project is an issues-based reader, designed to introduce students to the humanities and social sciences. The text attempts to grapple with some of the difficult problems that confront everyone, from questions of our basic human nature, to social change, to politics, to technology, and to arts and culture.

Students are challenged to grapple with issues that don't have easy answers, to develop the higher level thinking skills that such complex questions require, and to acquire a tolerance for the fundamental ambiguities that many of life's basic problems engender.
