Description
The Human Person explores fundamental questions about human nature, delving into topics such as the mind, soul, immortality, and free will. Steven J. Jensen examines the thought of Thomas Aquinas while addressing contemporary debates, including skepticism, mechanism, animal language research, and determinism. Jensen probes the core concerns of human existence, investigating whether humans are free or determined, and whether reason is unique to humans or shared with other animals. This book offers a nuanced exploration of these questions, shedding light on the complexities of human nature. Through its examination of these topics, The Human Person provides a thought-provoking introduction to philosophical inquiry, encouraging readers to consider their own understanding of what it means to be human.
