Arguing About Human Nature

<p><em>Arguing About Human Nature </em>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. <em>Arguing About Human Nature</em> 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.</p>
