Summary

"This book explores how differently thinkers from various disciplines approach issues of common interest. It is based on a series of lectures delivered at Harvard University by professors Alan Dershowitz (lawyer), Robert Nozick (philosopher) and Stephen Jay Gould (paleontologist). Each of these thinkers explains his particular perspective on the issue at hand and subsequently comments on the views of the others"--Introduction.
