There is no agreement today on the meaning of phrases like 'Human Nature' or 'The Nature of Man,' or even on whether they mean anything at all. Here is a thoughtful, contemporary survey of philosophy from Aristotle to McLuhan and Marcuse that never loses its focus on the issue: who is man? Central to the discussion is the view of Man as Inventor, the inventor of symbols as well as tools. This is a unifying vision, for "The highest powers of abstract thought depend on man's ability to construct and manipulate symbols."
