From why mental illness differs so widely between cultures to how geography influences morals from our sexual preferences to how we learn languages he proves that the vast diversity of behaviour is not ingrained. This is a book about humanity's power to transcend nature; and one that ultimately celebrates our differences.
Jesse J. Prinz is currently a Distinguished Professor of philosophy at the City University of New York and an Adjunct Professor of Philosophy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where he taught until January 2009. He works primarily in the philosophy of psychology and has produced books and articles on emotion moral psychology aesthetics and consciousness.
'From start to finish this book is a fine balanced enormously learned and informative blast on the trumpet of common sense and humane understanding ... wonderful' Simon Blackburn New Statesman
'The nature versus nurture tussle has been running for centuries and into this fervid arena steps Jesse J. Prinz ... he explores the origins of knowledge language thought and emotion and argues that there is not one human nature but many' Carl Wilkinson Financial Times
'Jesse Prinz wants to call a halt to the "century of the gene" ... in a backlash against the tyranny of DNA' Sydney Morning Herald
