Now available together as a set for a discounted price: Theories of Human Nature , and Human Nature: A Reader , by Joel J. Kupperman. On Theories of Human Nature : "A very fine book on human nature, both what it is and what philosophers have thought about it--philosophers in an inclusive sense, from Plato and Aristotle to Mengzi and Xunzi, from Hume and Kant to Ibn al-Arabi to Marx and Rousseau and including many others. The writing is lively and accessible, the philosophy insightful, and the sense of human possibilities conveyed admirable. It will fit nicely into many different sorts of classes." --John Perry, Stanford University . Theories of Human Nature also provides questions for further consideration and recommended further reading following each relevant chapter, encouraging readers to think further and to craft their own perspectives. Human Nature: A Reader is an anthology that provides a set of distinctive, influential views that explore the mysteries of human nature from a variety of perspectives in two parts. Part one examines some ancient views of human nature, including chapters on Indian philosophy: The Upanishads and Buddha, Confucius, Plato and Aristotle, Mengzi and Xunzi, and human imperfection in the Judeo-Christian tradition. Part two examines some modern views of human nature, including chapters on Hobbes, Butler and Hume, Kant, Marx and Alienation, and Sartre and Kierkegaard.
