The subject is treated thematically through the analysis of the opposites of materialism and immaterialism with a reconciliation of the two in selected traditional and contemporary philosophies.
Review Quotes: «Dr. Steger weaves together the findings of the empirical sciences into a coherent and exciting vision of human nature.

Students who read and reflect on the contents should benefit greatly.» (Robert Lauder, St. John's University)
«'The Many Dimensions of the Human Person' is a very comprehensive analysis, and since it examines critically various opinions regarding the nature of man and human behavior, it could well cause some scholars to consider the acceptableness of their own opinions and create some new thinking on the subject. It presents a very valuable historical display of the various approaches taken to account for the activities of 'the self'.»(John P. Rowan)
