Human nature is political, and this volume explains why and how. It
is of interest to students of political thought and behaviour, as
well as those studying the history of ideas and political
philosophy. The subjects discussed in this book include the
conceptions of human nature at the heart of political argument and
theory; the identification of major theories of human nature and
the functions they perform in epistemological and explanatory
terms; the examination of key individual thinkers and major
intellectual traditions, probing the origins and impact of each
view of human nature and assessing their theoretical and practical
strengths; as well as a practical orientation, focusing on specific
areas of politics, to highlight the role played by often competing
theories of human nature and so contrast their accuracy and
efficacy. The conclusion brings into close contrast the separate
theories of human nature as it applies to politics, throwing into
sharp relief the major problems found in its varied form and usage,
and pinpoints the prerequisites for the sound but fruitful study of
politics and human nature.
