The Battle for Human Nature Science, Morality, and Modern Life
by Barry Schwartz, Dorwin Cartwright Professor of Social Theology and Social Action Theology Department Barry Schwartz
Out of the investigations and speculations of contemporary science, a challenging view of human behavior and society has emerged and gained strength. It is a view that equates "human nature" utterly and unalterably with the pursuit of self-interest. Influenced by this view, people increasingly appeal to natural imperatives, instead of moral ones, to explain and justify their actions and those of others.
