Description
Roger Scruton's On Human Nature presents a radical defense of human uniqueness, challenging views from evolutionary psychologists and materialists. Scruton argues that humans are not solely biological objects, but persons with essential relations to other persons, bound by obligations and rights. He develops his account of human nature through a wide-ranging exploration of intellectual history, from Plato to Darwin and Wittgenstein. At the heart of Scruton's argument is our capacity for self-conscious reflection, manifest in emotions, interests, and relations. This sense of self is the foundation of the moral sense, as well as aesthetic and religious conceptions that shape our world and give it meaning.
