Description
Disentangling humans synthesizes life and social sciences, and the humanities, into a philosophical understanding of humans in terms of wellbeing, sociality and ethics.
Drawing from the fields of classical genetics, evolutionary biology and sociopsychology, and infused with references to classic literature and popular art, Dr Apidianakis examines the following questions through the lenses of DNA:
1. Is it more meaningful to predict the disease prospects of each individual or to indiscriminately prevent disease from happening?2. Are there biological limits in achieving the humanitarian ideal of human equality? That is, are there inerasable inequalities among people?3. Can we be determined by our genes and environments and still be responsible for our actions?4. Are we more behaviorally free when following our hearts or when planning for the future?5. When we punish people, should we be aiming to pacify the victim or rectify the prospective perpetrator?6. Which should guide our politics and ethics, our ideals or our universal behavioral attributes?7. What does it mean to be human?
The book is a flow of ten interlinked chapters intended for the scholar, the student, and the layperson alike. It is a source of information and arguments helping to understand the human condition from the perspective of genetics..
