Body and soul

the long version

Nicholson's book is a philosophically astute exploration into the nature of human existence. In presenting the topic, he examines at length issues in ethics, philosophy of the mind, metaphysics, and the philosophy of religion. He introduces the reader to such concepts as mind-body dualism, moral relativism, logical positivism, naturalism, and reductionism as well as to the key thinkers in these debates, from the ancient Greek philosophers to Hume, Ayer, Searle, and Swinburne.
