Summary

Naturalism and the Human Conditionis a compelling account of why naturalism, or the "scientific world-view" cannot provide a full account of who and what we are as human beings. Drawing on sources including Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Husserl and Sartre, Olafson exposes the limits of naturalism and stresses the importance of serious philosophical investigation of human nature.

Author Biography

Frederick A. Olafson is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at the University of California, San Diego.
