For religious persons, the notion of human being is tied
inextricably to the notion of God (or the gods) and turns on this
question: what is human being? How did we, with our almost infinite
capacities for thought, change, and domination, come to be? Imbued
with powers far beyond any other animal, humans are too faulty to
be considered gods themselves. Yet, the idea of God (or the gods)
appears in all distinctive human cultures: it names the other pole
of human_it designates a being who realizes perfectly our
imperfectly realized nature. With the rise of new sciences come
ancient anxieties about how we should define human being. In the
nineteenth century, electricity and magnetism fascinated experts
and captivated the lay public. In the twenty-first century,
advances in neuroscience open up vast new possibilities of
mimicking, and perhaps emulating human being. In this book twelve
scholars and scientists ask what_if anything_distinguishes Brain
from Mind, and Mind from Self and Soul.
