La vida en los extremos

Synopsis of La vida en los extremos

«La vida en los extremos: Aportaciones a un biohumanismo racionalista» is the essay by Salvador Macip (Arcadia, paperback, 216 pages, in Spanish).

The author analyses the two extremes that frame human existence —birth and death— and their social impact, crossing biology, philosophy and sociology. Under the «biohumanismo racionalista», he addresses sex, gender, family, immigration, love and hate, and proposes understanding the mechanisms that condition us in order to modify them and build better societies.
