Arguing About Human Nature covers recent debates--arising from
biology, philosophy, psychology, and physical anthropology--that
together systematically examine what it means to be human.
Thirty-five essays--several of them appearing here for the first
time in print--were carefully selected to offer competing
perspectives on 12 different topics related to human nature. The
context and main threads of the debates are highlighted and
explained by the editors in a short, clear introduction to each of
the 12 topics. Authors include Louise Anthony, Patrick Bateson,
David Buller, John Dupre, Paul Griffiths, Sally Haslanger, Richard
Lewontin, Ron Mallon, and E.O. Wilson. Contributors Rachel Cooper,
Nancy Holmstrom, Kim Sterelny, and Elizabeth Cashdan provide brand
new chapters in these debates.
Suggested Reading lists offer curious readers new resources for
exploring these debates further. Arguing About Human Nature is the
first volume of its kind, designed to introduce to an
interdisciplinary student audience some of the most important
arguments on the subject generated by scientific research and
philosophical reflection.
