The Heroic Hand

An essay on the human mind, body and species

I have been looking at a lot of my old writings and considering reblogging a lot of it. I also have some term papers from some university courses I did. Below is one I think is particularly good.

It is quite relevant to some ideas that are kicking around right now. I think it sets up a realistic view of human kind. It debunks on the one hand, the idea that humans are just a species of animal with some exceptional talents, and on the other hand, that we can exist outside of nature and our bodies.
