Human Nature eviscerates these and other doctrines of a contemporary nihilism masquerading as science. In this wide-ranging work polymath David Berlinski draws upon history, mathematics, logic, and literature to retrain our gaze on an old truth many are eager to forget: there is and will be about the human condition beauty, nobility, and moments of sublime insight, yes, but also ignorance and depravity. Men are not about to become like gods.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Miakarts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49683194249456,"sku":"NEW1936599716","price":27.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/ethereallybeautiful.com\/products\/human-nature","provider":"Ethereally Beautiful","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
