His brilliantly argued essays rely not on theological claims or religious authority but on established scientific facts and a philosophical tradition that extends back to Plato and Aristotle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eConscience and Its Enemies \u003c\/i\u003esets forth powerful arguments that secular liberals are unaccustomed to hearing—and that embattled defenders of traditional morality so often fail to marshal.","brand":"ISI Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42973215097087,"sku":"9781610171410","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_801c14f6-deb2-47dc-a22a-c1f352ab5241.jpg?v=1756493000","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781610171410","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
