Samenvatting:

For centuries, science and religion have been on the opposite sides of the debate about the moral nature of humans. Combining research in neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and behavioral science, this book focuses on the vision of morality as expressed by John Duns Scotus, showing how science and religion can give complementary views of morality.

For centuries, science and religion have been on the opposite sides of the debate about the moral nature of human beings. Now science is confirming what people of faith have long known: human morality is embedded in our biology. Drawing on the latest research in neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and behavioral science, this book affirms the four-fold prophetic vision of morality as expressed hundreds of years ago by the great philosopher and theologian, the Blessed John Duns Scotus. It proclaims the dignity of the individual and celebrates freedom of will for moral living, stemming from the place of innate natural goodness where love prevails.
