The author argues that the unrealistic isolation of mind from body
in reductive scientific ideologies still causes painful confusion.
Such ideologies present crude pictures which are not good science,
since they ignore the manifest importance of the higher human
faculties. Nor is there room for any realistic notion of the self.
Why should these theories insist on only one kind of answer? There
are as many explanations as there are viewpoints from which
questions arise - subjective as well as objective, practical as
well as theoretical. Human morality necessarily arises from human
freedom: we are uniquely free beings in that we are aware of our
conflicts of motive, but those conflicts, and our ability to
resolve them, are part of our natural inheritance. Though we are in
many ways divided, we share the difficult project of wholeness with
other organisms. What matters for our freedom is the recognition of
our genuine agency, our slight but real power to grasp and
arbitrate our inner conflicts.
