The question of the relationship between mind and body as posed by
Descartes, Spinoza, and others remains a fundamental debate for
philosophers. In "Damasio's Error and Descartes' Truth," Andrew
Gluck constructs a pluralistic response to the work of neurologist
Antonio Damasio. Gluck critiques the neutral monistic assertions
found in "Descartes' Error "and "Looking for Spinoza" from a
philosophical perspective, advocating an adaptive theory--physical
monism in the natural sciences, dualism in the social sciences, and
neutral monism in aesthetics. Gluck's work is a significant and
refreshing take on a historical debate.
In "Religion, Fundamentalism, and Violence", Andrew L. Gluck brings
together distinguished scholars to address a fiercely debated
topic: the intersection of religion and violence. Among the
contributions is an anthropological analysis of the violence
associated with the Abrahamic monotheistic religions of the Middle
East, a compelling essay accounting for the violence in Hindu
religious traditions, an informative look at the
Israeli-Palestinian tensions of more recent times, and an essay on
the Catholic just war theory. Each chapter is followed by a
commentary and reply, making this volume indispensable for students
and scholars of the history of religions.
