About this book

Jacob Bronowski's "The Identity of Man" is an insightful examination of human nature and how science affects our sense of self. Scientist and intellectual historian Bronowski offers a cohesive theory of human nature. He contends that the external, objective viewpoint of science and the internal, subjective vision of the arts must both have equal weight in a true humanistic philosophy. One self-aware creative imagination produced both. The necessity of reevaluating ethics in light of science is also covered in the book.
