Description

A self-termed "layman" explores his understanding of philosophical concepts after years of working as Emeritus Professor of Business Finance at the University of Bath where he was Head of the School of Management for six years and afterwards a Pro-Vice-Chancellor for three years. Professor Tomkins' exploration revealed interesting debates about differences between philosophers and scientists relating ot the evolution of Man, implications for understanding God and religion, and different approaches to the meaning of Consciousness and the Mind. 

The book also seeks the origin of ethics, fairness and compassion, as well as aesthetics and language. Tomkins' new book ends with a simple model of social evolution, asks what philosophy is for, and concludes that there are many more issues philosophers should address. 

Written for general readers or students who are interested in, but not expert in, philosophy as well as philosophers and scientists specifically interested in the interface between science and philosophy in areas such as the evolution of Man and Consciousness and the Mind. Decision makers at individual, corporate or government level may like to consider how philosophical concepts inform their strategic judgements. 

"The book might also be fun for other laymen wishing to pursue the route the author has taken."
