HCOM 202 - Philosophy of Human Nature


Human beings are not all the same, but there are situations in which we expect people generally to feel and do very similar things.  This core of similarity leads to an idea of human nature. This course surveys the variety and range of accounts of human nature. It is designed within the critical tradition of analytic philosophy and logic.  It also delves into moral and political reflections concerning the relation between human nature and the nature of society, the state, and government.
