{"product_id":"the-human-person-9781532672415","title":"The Human Person","description":"A philosophical work that addresses the validity of the question: What is it for the human being to be an animal, and for this animal to be a spirit? Braine argues that the perspectives of materialism and dualism are different casts of the same flawed mold and offers a holistic alternative. Braine further argues that perception is inseparable from behavior and that the human propensity to produce language separates us from other animals. Culminating in a discussion of the meaning of death, this is rich and passionate philosophical argument for the human being as animal and soul. David Braine (1940-2017) was educated at Magdalen College, Oxford. From 1965-89 he was a Lecturer in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Aberdeen He was awarded a Gifford Fellowship from 1982-1988. Following complications after his spinal injury of 1977, he took medical retirement in 1989, becoming Honorary Lecturer 1989-2002, and Honorary Research Fellow in 2002.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wipf \u0026amp; Stock Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/09\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781532672415\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 582\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 1.18d","brand":"David Braine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36657273077916,"sku":"9781532672415","price":60.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_50c7ad3e-1605-438e-9db2-ae8b1a83fc70.jpg?v=1603890146","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-human-person-9781532672415","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
