Relation to Human Nature The origins of human nature and society are distinguished and are different throughout history. The origin of human nature depends upon the period involved. Early anthropologists based human nature on their own experiences of living because no written records existed as to how a society formed‚ while modern anthropologists have the luxury of using written records and current living situations to develop their own notion of a society and human nature.

We may not have cash‚ but we’ve got ash.” Quite hilarious‚ aren’t they? Environmental quality in Iceland is non-negotiable but the price is national bankruptcy. Cash or ash?

(Mitchell‚ 259)

C.S. Lewis on Human Nature In the Abolition of Man‚ Lewis argues for a world where “certain emotional reactions on our part could be either congruous or incongruous to it – believed‚ in fact‚ that objects did not merely receive‚ but could merit‚ our approval or disapproval‚ or reverence‚ or our contempt”(15).

1 HUMAN NATURE: A CONTESTED CONCEPT Are we inherently good or bad? Are we driven by reason or emotions? Are we selfish or altruistic? Is the human mind malleable or predisposed? These questions are highly contested and the answers to them far from clear. This is due not only to the array of different perspectives on human nature‚ but also to seemingly contradictory evidence. We need only scratch the surface of history to find confirmation that humankind is capable of incredible cruelty and

well re-name Human Beings to Human Doings. What does it mean to be a human rather than do things humans do. Are actions an innate response or do actions stem from emotions and feelings accumulated by unique individual perception. At what point does reason morph into moral obligation and justified response. Philosophers have been tracing the roots of human nature to gain information to educate society on how best to govern the species. I will be analyzing David Hume’s work‚ A Treatise of Human Nature

In other ways‚ it is a paradigm; how we see and identify ourselves. Having a culture keeps us in order and sane because of the traditions it brought to us.

Introduction I have taken for my study one chapter from the book Marx and human nature by Norman Geras. In the second chapter Norman Geras deals with the human nature and historical materialism. Although many Marxists denied Marx’s theory of human nature that there was a human nature to be found in Marx’s words‚ there is in fact a Marxist conception of human nature which remains‚ to some degree‚ constant throughout history and across social boundaries. The sixth of the Theses on Feuerbach provided
