  1. Ética y eudaimonía: la crítica de Bernard Williams a la naturaleza humana en Aristóteles.Camilo Andrés Ardila Arévalo - 2018 - Cuestiones de Filosofía 22 (4):71-89.
    Tradicionalmente, se ha argumentado que el concepto de eudaimonía en Aristóteles se encuentra anclado en el contexto de una comprensión teleológica del universo, por cuanto dicha noción parece radicar en una definición funcionalista de la naturaleza humana. Teniendo esto en mente, Bernard Williams ha desarrollado una crítica en contra de la propuesta ética de Aristóteles, acusándola de una cierta ambición científica en el campo del razonamiento práctico que resulta insostenible actualmente. Este ensayo busca discutir si, en efecto, estos señalamientos tienen (...)

  • Swami Vivekananda: Revival and reform in the making of Hinduism.Brimadevi van Niekerk - 2020 - HTS Theological Studies 76 (4):1-8.
    The importance of the life and teachings of Swami Vivekananda can never be overestimated by contemporary Hindus; the numerous Ramakrishna centres around the world bear testimony to his abiding influence even 127 years after his address to the Parliament of World Religions in 1893. Vivekananda symbolises a Hinduism that has been able to assert its sovereignty not just over the intolerable and very parochial missionary attitudes of Christianity in the 19th century, but his notion of universal Hinduism took root amongst (...)

  • Three theories of human nature.Mikael Stenmark - 2009 - Zygon 44 (4):894-920.
    In The Blank Slate: The Modern Denial of Human Nature , Steven Pinker maintains that at present there are three competing views of human nature—a Christian theory, a "blank slate" theory (what I call a social constructivist theory), and a Darwinian theory—and that the last of these will triumph in the end. I argue that neither the outcome of such competition nor the particular content of these theories is as clear as Pinker believes. In this essay I take a critical (...)

  • Theories of Human Nature: Key Issues.Mikael Stenmark - 2012 - Philosophy Compass 7 (8):543-558.
    Issues about human nature are at the core of philosophy, but theories of human nature can be found in many academic disciplines and all humans have opinions and sometimes fairly strong opinions about who we are. We sometimes talk more specifically about, for instance, a Christian view of human nature and distinguish it from say the Blank Slate theory or a Darwinian understanding of human nature. But what is more exactly a theory of human nature? In this essay I survey (...)

  • The Anthropology of Peace and Nonviolence.Leslie E. Sponsel - 2014 - Diogenes 61 (3-4):30-45.
    The pioneering ideas of Glenn D. Paige for a paradigm shift from killing to nonkilling are highlighted. The relevance of anthropology for this paradigm is advanced. The accumulating scientific evidence proves that nonviolent and peaceful societies not only exist, but are actually the norm throughout human prehistory and history. This scientific fact is elucidated through a historical inventory of the most important documentation. Ethnographic cases are summarized of the Semai as a nonviolent society, the transition from killing to nonkilling of (...)

  • Can human nature be the foundation of human rights? Analytic approach.Szymon Mazurkiewicz - 2018 - Avant: Trends in Interdisciplinary Studies 9 (1):129-144.
    The paper analyzes whether human nature can be the foundation of human rights. To this end, in the first part, the concept of the nature of an object is considered. The author considers three understandings of the concept “nature of X”: (1) the set of necessary (or essential) properties of all X-es, (2) ideal or pattern, which X-es can or should strive to and (3) a statistically dominant tendency (or tendencies) characterizing all X-es as a genre although not always characterizing (...)
