South African philosopher Versfeld challenges the fragmentation caused by Descartes' dictum "I think therefore I am," and turns to Thomas Aquinas, Augustine, and other thinkers to find wholeness. His topics include the ego in Indian thought, the desirability of desire, the yin and the yang in Christian culture, justice and human rights, and evolutionary knowledge. There is no index.
