Synopsis

With the scope of a philosopher and the precision of a scientist, Dr. Ahmed takes us on a journey, an inquiry into a question that has occupied the best minds in every age, "What Makes Us Human?" Dr. Ahmed skillfully explores the complexities of the modern age, the gravity of materialism and the dearth of a spiritual reservoir. He examines notions of human free will, justice, learning, evolution, and offers deep insights into the attributes of the soul. Quite simply, this book should be read. It is a book for the scientist, the educator, the philosopher, the student, the man or woman of religion (no matter what the faith), the historian, and the ordinary citizen.
