Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a philosophical inquiry into the nature of human beings and their place within the universe. The author traces the history of human self-understanding from the ancient Greek philosophers to the scientific discoveries of the 17th century. The author argues that we must move beyond theories of human nature that focus solely on the spiritual or the physical, and embrace a more integrated view that recognizes the interconnectedness of the two. Drawing on the work of Socrates, Shakespeare, and William Harvey, the author explores the limitations of previous philosophical approaches to self-knowledge. The book highlights the importance of recognizing the interconnectedness of human beings, arguing that the "broader and in many respects more imperfectly defined idea" of democracy, for example, is a powerful force in human life. The author further emphasizes the critical role of science in revealing the interconnectedness of human nature, highlighting the impact of discoveries like the circulation of blood and the laws of gravitation. The book's insights are particularly timely given the ongoing struggles of the world. The author argues that a better understanding of human nature can help to create a more peaceful and just society.
