These biological puzzlements tend to support rather than contradict a faith (as the book seeks to explain) that our full human nature has not only sprang from abyssal depths of evolutionary time, but also flowers in Eternity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are many multi-associative ideas, such as the subjective\/objective dichotomy, that Power in the Blood examines on a journey whose pursuit may encourage readers to entertain a deeper measure of existential meaning in all its aspects, real and ideal, objective and subjective. And that measure may also urge their concluding, for example, that consciousness is not simply a magic trick of blindly impersonal physics. To affirm such concepts, that surely favor better than their opposites the long-term continuance of our self endangered species, provided one motive to construct the most promising and least prejudicial world view, enlisting philosophy, faith and science in a trinity of mutual support, that for the author seemed humanly possible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"An enriching, immersive experience for anyone interested in exploring the foundation of life.\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eKirkus Reviews.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 306\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.69 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 21, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47506646663346,"sku":"9781491725542","price":23.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/aeUpkzgMLm9781491725542.webp?v=1779559005","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/power-in-the-blood-interrelating-philosophy-faith-and-science-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
