How perfectible is human nature as understood in Eastern and Western philosophy, psychology, and religion? Harold Coward examines some of the very different answers to this question. He poses that in Western thought, including philosophy, psychology, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, human nature is often understood as finite, flawed, and not perfectible—in religion requiring God's grace and the afterlife to reach the goal. By contrast, Eastern thought arising in India frequently sees human nature to be perfectible and presumes that we will be reborn until we realize the goal—the various yoga psychologies, philosophies, and religions of Hinduism and Buddhism being the paths by which one may perfect oneself and realize release from rebirth. Coward uses the striking differences in the assessment of how perfectible human nature is as the comparative focus for this book.

En 2007, deux ans après le décès de Paul Ricoeur, son livre inachevé Vivant jusqu'à la mort fut publié. Ces derniers fragments viennent clore une œuvre extrêmement riche. Sous une apparente hétérogénéité, un fil conducteur se fait jour. De Soi-même comme un autre jusqu'au traité Sur la traduction, le thème de la capacité et la philosophie de l'action prennent le pas sur la faillibilité. Des philosophes de renom nous présentent de façon inédite cette thématique de l'homme capable, un être agissant et souffrant. Leurs études abordent sous des angles variés la question du soi éthique et de son rapport à l'autre, du soi politique et de l'identité collective, du soi herméneutique et du soi langagier, un être capable de dépasser les ruptures entre les langues et les cultures. En soulignant différents degrés de capacités, ils nous montrent l'originalité de la pensée de Ricoeur en dialogue avec l'histoire de la philosophie et ils poursuivent son questionnement.

In the twenty-first century, the boundaries between both humans and machines and humans and animals are hotly contested and debated. In Humans, Animals, Machines, Glen A. Mazis examines the increasingly blurring boundaries among the three and argues that despite their violating collisions, there are ways for the three realms to work together for mutual thriving. Examining Merleau-Ponty, Heidegger, and Haraway; artificial intelligence that includes "MIT Embodied AI"; newer holistic brain research; animal studies; the attachment theory of psychologist Daniel Siegel; literary examples; aesthetic theory; technology research; contemporary theology; physics; poetry; machine art; Taoism; and firsthand accounts of cyborg experience, the book reconsiders and dares to propose a new type of ethics and ecospirituality that would do justice to the overlapping relationships among humans, animals, and machines.
