Alien Life and Human Purpose provides a rhetorical examination of the way major historical figures connect their arguments for the absence of alien life, or unity, to their philosophical, religious, and ethical agendas. Packer contends that unity had a complimentary mythic function and continues to shape modern social values. This work will be of interest to rhetoricians, philosophers, historians, and theologists.
