Descripción
Sumario:This title advances a personalist account of human beings to help us better understand and explain human persons, motivations, interests, and the social life to which they give rise. It offers an alternative to the standard views in contemporary sociology and most of the rest of social science. It seeks to answer three big questions: What basic motivations and interests generate and direct human action? What is by nature good for human beings? How should we understand and explain the lack of goodness that is so prevalent and damaging in human life?
