In this book, leading intellectuals from a variety of fields reflect on the meaning of humanism and how it can inform our thinking about science. They argue that we need to move beyond a view of science as a toolbox of techniques and explore the ways in which science can help us better understand the human condition. Through their essays, the New Humanists challenge us to think more deeply about what it means to be human and to use science to help us realize our potential as a species.; 8vo; 408 pages.
