Originally published in 1961. Arthur O. Lovejoy, beginning with his
book The Great Chain of Being, helped usher in the discipline of
the History of Ideas in America. In Reflections on Human Nature,
Lovejoy devotes particular attention to influential figures such as
Hobbes, Locke, Bishop Butler, and Mandeville, tracing developments
and changes in the concept of human nature through the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries. He also discusses the theory of human
nature held by the founders of the American Constitution, giving
special attention to James Madison and the "Federalist Papers."
