On being human

By Jerome Kagan

Subjects: Psychology, philosophy, Philosophy of mind, Psychology, Philosophy

Description: "Kagan relies on the evidence to argue that thoughts and emotions are distinct from their biological and genetic bases. In separate chapters he deals with the meaning of words, kinds of knowing, the powerful influence of social class, the functions of education, emotion, morality, and other issues. And without fail he sheds light on these ideas while remaining honest to their complexity." -- From dust jacket.
