Two Orientations Toward Human Nature

More about the book

The book explores the conflicting perceptions of human nature, oscillating between views of egoism and a more collective, herd-like behavior. Guldmann contends that this dichotomy reveals two distinct ideas of human agency, challenging the notion that human nature exists along a spectrum of self-interest and altruism. The author argues that this perspective misrepresents the true essence of humanity, prompting a reevaluation of how we understand human behavior and motivation.
