The Juxtaposition Of Organisms (Paperback)

Consciousness: Can conscious thoughts be considered "works of art" created by nervous cells? Biology: Is human society an organism like the human body, just at a different order of magnitude? And what would happen if human society acquired the capacity to reproduce itself by establishing colonies on other planets? Would we witness an evolution of human societies over time, an evolution sculpted by natural selection? Morality: If your cells would have the freedom to choose, what would you like them to do in relation to you, the whole body? And shouldn't you seek to do similar things in relation to the entire human society? These are some of the questions that The Juxtaposition Of Organisms tackles by looking at the similarities between the human body and human society.
