• Perhaps we humans are cosmic dwarfs; perhaps we are molecular giants. But there is no denying our mid-scale complexity. We humans live neither at the range of the infinitely small, nor at that of the infinitely large, but we might well live at the range of the infinitely complex. We live at the range of the most caring; we ourselves might embody the most capacity for caring.

Stephen Post y sus colaboradores afirman, un poco menos audazmente, que al menos los generosos, probablemente, se mantendrán sanos-y, mejorando Socrates, apoyan esta afirmación con una cuidadosa ciencia empírica, impresionante por su exhaustivo detalle. Aquí la ética y la religión se unen a la ciencia y nos instan a ser más solidarios y saludables. Una obra fundamental, con un mensaje urgente.
