The Battle for Human Nature: Science, Morality and Modern Life

W. W. Norton & Company, August 1987. Trade Paperback. Item #211757
ISBN: 0393304450


Out of the investigations and speculations of contemporary science, a challenging view of human behavior and society has emerged and gained strength. It is a view that equates "human nature" utterly and unalterably with the pursuit of self-interest. Influenced by this view, people increasingly appeal to natural imperatives, instead of moral ones, to explain and justify their actions and those of others.
