New title explores threats to human nature
Peter Augustine Lawler's Aliens in America:
The Strange Truth about Our Souls is one of the first books of political philosophy to take seriously the threat posed to human nature by the therapeutic biotechnological project. Lawler attempts to explain what this utopian project tells us about our souls, and he places it in the context of alternative understandings of both liberalism and the American founding. Drawing from Aquinas, Tocqueville, and Walker Percy, Lawler has produced with Aliens in America a thoughtful defense of the goodness of human nature against the biotechnological efforts to obliterate it.
