“Perhaps we humans are cosmic dwarfs; perhaps we are molecular giants. But there is no denying our mid-scale complexity. We humans live neither at the range of the infinitely small, nor at that of the infinitely large, but we might well live at the range of the infinitely complex. We live at the range of the most caring; we ourselves might embody the most capacity for caring.” HumansWellsMightHumanityCapacityComplexesCaringScalesRangeGiantsComplexityCosmicDwarfs Author:Holmes Rolston III
“Socrates claimed famously that one never loses by doing the right thing. Stephen Post and his contributors claim, a little less boldly, that at least the generous will, probably, stay healthy—and, improving on Socrates, they support this claim with careful empirical science, impressive for its comprehensive detail. Here ethics and religion join science and enjoin us to be more caring and healthy. A seminal work, with an urgent message.” LittlesLosesSupportHealthyMessagesEthicsClaimsDetailsCarefulCaringPostsGenerousRight ThingImprovingUrgentImpressiveComprehensiveDoing The Right ThingContributors Author:Holmes Rolston III
