Description:

This anthology provides an introduction to a variety of views about human nature, from various cultures over three millennia. It ranges from ancient religious texts down to contemporary theories based on evolutionary science. It can be used as a reader to go along with Ten Theories of Human Nature, third edition (OUP, 1998), but it is also usable independently, by students or the general reader.
