We, the Humans: Is There Meaning in Our Life

In WE THE HUMANS, Dr. Segal sets out to discuss with the reader various approaches to humanity: cosmological, evolutionary, anthropological, biological, psychological, sociocultural & metaphysical. But this eye-opening book is not merely a collection of information derived from different disciplines. The book represents an attempt to overcome the boundaries of specialized fields in order to utilize synthetic thinking & contemplate the enigma of human life. People have been asking themselves from time immemorial: Who are we? What is the essence of humanity? Are we between beasts & angels, or only in the very beginning of this road, or in the dead-end of evolution? Why is this Universe? Was life created according to a design? Are men & women only puppets of the blind & cruel natural forces, or are they free-willed creatures able to control & modify their aggressive & sexual instincts & build a perfect society? What is the meaning of self, & is our soul immortal? WE, THE HUMANS, explores both sides of our existence, dark & bright. It is a fascinating voyage into the mysterious abyss of human nature & a valuable & thought-provoking account of a variety of the most important, complex & obscure subjects.
