Autorenporträt
The author, Chris Angle, took an interest in philosophy starting at the University of Michigan where the courses introduced him to the many famous works among which were the dialogues of Plato and the character of Socrates which intrigued and influenced him forever afterwards.At the U of M, Angle decided that he would write philosophical works of his own. But preparatory to that, he realized that in order to begin this endeavor, he should have to be able to define philosophical concepts.Angle found that to understand these concepts, learning about the biological history and evolution of man would be insightful. And, indeed it was. Angle's explications of many philosophical concepts often involve reference to biological anthropology.
