What does it mean to be happy? Today we are attempting to answer
this question with our understanding of science in relation to
self-fulfillment. In modern times, the concept of "self" has
replaced the pre-modern idea of "soul." The notion of the "self"
has had colossal implications concerning what we deem necessary to
be happy. Author Kathy McReynolds argues that the modern self can
indeed become self-fulfilled, but not truly happy, with the help of
science, especially biotechnology. Happiness, according to
Professor McReynolds, requires an understanding of the self as a
soul, and also an understanding of the true nature of human
activity. She draws upon the classical and modern theories of
Aristotle and Francis Bacon to reconsider the idea of the soul.
This book offers a unique perspective to the interesting and
necessary discussion of the soul.
