”“Who are we? The answer to this question, the central question of the humanities, has prompted many different answers. None of the better-known answers to that question, as Geoffrey demonstrates, are wrong; each is merely incomplete, a piece of the puzzle … This is a daring book, to be sure—a dare that Geoffrey has answered with his trademark concision and clarity. And like all daring acts, it produces a thrill—one for which I always will be grateful.””
—Harry Beckwith, New York Times bestselling author of Selling the Invisible
