Human nature

they each had a distinctive understanding of human nature from one another. To Rousseau, humans in primitive times were "noble savages" and it is "civilization" that turned man into a "beast". Conversely, Hobbes believed that being "civilized" is a positive trait and being uncivilized or a "savage" is bad. Concerning human nature, Rousseau theorized that humans were innately good and generous, before being corrupted by the vices of civilization. Human life was most likely peaceful and…

Nature is in the sense of naturism or innatism. Nurture is the sense of empiricism or behavior.

Human Nature, which is, denoting something that all human beings share, is predominantly hereditary, and found to be a result of human evolution, as such, it has been traditionally related to the idea of universality, which is the…

research shows that genetic considerations do not entirely determine outcomes for individual development. From week 4 all the way to week 6 we have been reading different articles in regards to the different levels of contributions and influences that nature and nurturing have on individual development. Comprehensive clinical studies show that adverse conditions in early life can severely impact the developing brain and increase vulnerability to mood disorders later in life" (Murgatroyd, &…

This issue was original brought up by Francis Galton in the early 16th century. Thus, dwelling on this issue, is the…

In this paper, I will discuss whether human nature is good or bad by analyzing a debate between Xunzi and Mengzi. I argue that Xunzi’s argument fails to undermine Mengzi’s claim for the goodness of human nature, and the two seemingly disparate perspectives can be reconciled. I will demonstrate a more challenging argument against Mengzi’s theory by reformulating Xunzi’s claim with a Humean ethical perspective on human nature. Xunzi defines human nature as what is inherent; that is, the traits…
