En berättelse om rätt och fel, och hur det ibland inte går att skilja dem åt.Efter fyra uppslitande år vid första världskrigets västfront återvänder Tom Sherbourne till Australien och tar anställning som fyrvaktare på Janus Rock, en ensligt belägen ö nästan en halv dagsresa från kusten. Omgiven av havets tomma vidder och med sin unga hustru Isabel som enda sällskap, hoppas Tom finna ro för sin sargade själ.En aprilmorgon några år senare spolas en båt upp på stranden och i den vinddrivna farkosten finner fyrvaktarparet en död man och ett levande spädbarn. Tom vill först låta underrätta myndigheterna, men Isabel, som genomlidit tre missfall, ser barnet som svaret på alla hennes böner, som en gåva direkt från Gud. Mot bättre vetande beslutar de sig för att behålla den lilla flickan och låta världen tro att hon är deras dotter. Det är först två år senare, när de återvänder till fastlandet, som paret inser att den händelse som gett deras tillvaro en mening samtidigt slagit en annan människas liv i spillror.M. L. Stedmans hyllade roman är en hjärtskärande berättelse om längtan och saknad, och om hur livets omöjliga vägval tvingar ut människan i ett landskap där gränsen mellan rätt och fel inte längre är uppenbar.

This book introduces the Aristotelian-Thomistic view of the human person to a contemporary audience, and reviews the ways in which this view could provide a philosophically sound foundation for modern psychology. The book presents the current state of psychology and offers critiques of the current philosophical foundations. In its presentation of the fundamental metaphysical commitments of the Aristotelian-Thomistic view, it places the human being within the broader understanding of the world.Chapters discuss the Aristotelian-Thomistic view of human and non-human cognition as well as the relationship between cognition and emotion. In addition, the book discusses the Aristotelian-Thomistic conception of human growth and development, including how the virtue theory relates to current psychological approaches to normal human development, the development of character problems that lead to psychopathology, current conceptions of positive psychology, and the place of the individual in the social world. The book ends with a summary of how Aristotelian-Thomistic theory relates to science in general and psychology in particular.The Human Person will be of interest to psychologists and cognitive scientists working within a number of subfields, including developmental psychology, social psychology, cognitive psychology, and clinical psychology, and to philosophers working on the philosophy of psychology, philosophy of mind, and the interaction between historical philosophy and contemporary science, as well as linguists and computer scientists interested in psychology of language and artificial intelligence.
