Human nature, whether it is fixed by genetic endowment or malleable under the influence of social forces, is one of the most hotly debated questions in recent social thought. The contributors to this volume examine the concept of human nature and its role both in philosophical exploration and political prescription. The book's essays deal with such questions as the relation of self-interest to the proper design of government, whether there is something about human nature which creates a normative prohibition to genetic engineering, what the emerging discipline of socio-biology has to tell us about morality, and how differing conceptions of human nature affect Aristotle, Hume, Kant, Rousseau, and current feminist theory. The work is aimed at professionals and graduate students in philosophy nd political theory.
