Beast and Man by Mary Midgley
In this major work, Mary Midgley, one of our foremost intellectuals argues that humans are rather more like animals than we have previously allowed ourselves to believe.'This is a very important book.. Midgley has provided an urgently needed bridge between science and philosophy.' - Iris Murdoch
'A brilliant and persuasive attempt to set us in our animal context, to show us to ourselves as at home in the world, and to indicate a morality for society without religious absolutes - a morality of which we see the rudiments in our brother species.' - The Observer
'A wonderful breath of fresh air and a book for non-philosophers as much as for philosophers.' - Mary Warnock
Mary Midgley (1919-2018). A philosopher with a special interest in ethics, human nature, and science, Mary Midgley has a widespread international following for her work.
