This book explores the idea of human nature and the many understandings of it put forward by such diverse figures as Aristotle, Rousseau, Marx, Freud, Darwin and E.O. Wilson. Each chapter looks at a different theory and offers a concise explanation, and assesses its plausibility. Beyond that, however, Lopston does not attempt to fit each theory into a mould. Some chapters deal with the ideas of only one thinker, some with a variety of related positions (such as those on liberalism and feminsim). A clear distinction is made between theories of human nature and the political theories which so often follow from them.
