Description

Beast or Angel? explores the timeless tensions between our primal instincts and civilised aspirations, examining what it truly means to be human in the modern world. Drawing on Rene Dubos' philosophical inquiry, this work challenges the notion that fundamental human nature has transformed over centuries, arguing instead that despite our sophisticated society, we retain ancestral capacities for profound satisfaction from life's ordinary moments. The book traces the psychological and social origins of human needs, yearnings, and the emotional experiences that define our existence - happiness and suffering, hope and despair. By investigating the fine line separating humanity from animality, Dubos provides readers with a thoughtful meditation on what distinguishes us as a species and how we might choose authentically human living in an increasingly complex world.

Key Features

Beast or Angel? by Routledge examines fundamental questions about human nature and our capacity for both civilised thought and primal instinct.

The book traces historical and psychological origins of human needs and yearnings that persist across generations despite social change.

Dubos argues that modern humans retain ancestral abilities to find deep satisfaction in everyday life experiences and small daily occurrences.

This philosophical exploration investigates the distinction between humanity and animality, addressing core human emotions including hope, despair, happiness and suffering.

The work challenges assumptions about whether basic human nature has transformed significantly over the past fifty years or remains fundamentally unchanged.
