With the Copernican revolution and the development of science and technology, our bodies and our gods lost their positions as the centers and most important aspects of life and meaning. The giver of meaning became merely the receiveror container of knowledge. Now the very value or identity of humankind was in question. Were we just accidental or random events? Could the universe do fine without us? The answer this book gives is "definitely not." Without humanbodies, there is no meaning to anything. The universe may still be there without us, but it is a cold and empty universe without thoughts, emotions, and self-awareness. It is a truly stupid feelingless universe without human bodies to complete it, understand it, and fill it with meaning through language,myths, and body metaphors.Larry Lickus earned a bachelor's degree in psychology from Loyola University in Chicago and from there went on to obtain a master's degree in criminal justice from Chicago State University.
