Using many primary and secondary sources, this book analyses why such great thinkers as Aristotle, Aquinas, Ockham, Galileo, Kepler, Huygens, and Kant thought the debate over the plurality of worlds a subject for serious discussion. The author shows how conflicting arguments from science, philosophy, and theology gradually converged to the same opinion - that intelligent life must fill the universe.

    Donald Spence's book, Meaning and Interpretation in Psychoanalysis, is so disturbing and so revolutionary, in the sense of essaying so radical and fundamental a critique of our most central clinical and theoretical operating assumptions.
