The Family and the Political Self aims to capture the insights that can be gleaned from taking this truth seriously.

"Laurence Thomas's new book, The Family and the Political Self is a highly original, thought provoking, and movingly written meditation on the proposition that human beings are capable of and very frequently demonstrate that they actually have considerable altruism." - Bernard R.
