Descriere magazin:
Continuing his groundbreaking examination of our ``Anthropocene Epoch,`` which he began with The Social Conquest of Earth , described by the New York Times as ``a sweeping account of the human rise to domination of the biosphere,`` here Wilson posits that we, as a species, now know enough about the universe and ourselves that we can begin to approach questions about our place in the cosmos and the meaning of intelligent life in a systematic, indeed, in a testable way. Once criticized for a purely mechanistic view of human life and an overreliance on genetic predetermination, Wilson presents in The Meaning of Human Existence his most expansive and advanced theories on the sovereignty of human life, recognizing that, even though the human and the spider evolved similarly, the poet\'s sonnet is wholly different from the spider\'s web. Whether attempting to explicate ``The Riddle of the Human Species,`` ``Free Will,`` or ``Religion``; warning of ``The Collapse of Biodiversity``; or even creating a plausible ``Portrait of E.T.,`` Wilson does indeed believe that humanity holds a special position in the known universe. The human epoch that began in biological evolution and passed into pre-, then recorded, history is now more than ever before in our hands. Yet alarmed that we are about to abandon natural selection by redesigning biology and human nature as we wish them, Wilson soberly concludes that advances in science and technology bring us our greatest moral dilemma since God stayed the hand of Abraham.
