Description

Explore the complex tension in modern thought with Two Orientations Toward Human Nature. Part of the Ashgate New Critical Thinking in Philosophy series, this book examines the split in how our culture views human behavior. It looks at the conflict between egoism, which drives capitalism and individualism, and the continental intellectual tradition that focuses on ideas of wholeness and alienation. Author Guldmann investigates this schism by analyzing two different ways of understanding human agency. Instead of seeing human nature as a simple choice between self-interest and herd-like behavior, the text explores the deeper philosophical divide. This work provides a foundation for readers interested in Western philosophy, social sciences, and the fundamental questions of how we function as individuals within society.
