In Quest of Freedom: The Emergence of Spirit in the Natural World. Frankfurt Templeton Lectures 2006 (Religion, Theologie und Naturwissenschaft / Religion, Theology, and Natural Science (RThN))

Science deeply challenges classical descriptions of the human person as free and as spirit. This survey of contemporary neuroscience and evolutionary biology explores why these challenges have arisen. At the same time it finds in the religious dimension of human existence powerful resources for speaking of the Emergenz des Geistes and of a deeper sense of human freedom.
