  • Comparing John Locke and Thomas Hobbes

    1242 Words  | 3 Pages

    Many people have different views on the moral subject of good and evil or human nature. It is the contention of this paper that humans are born neutral, and if we are raised to be good, we will mature into good human beings. Once the element of evil is introduced into our minds, through socialization and the media, we then have the potential to do bad things. As a person grows up, they are ideally taught to be good and to do good things, but it is possible that the concept of evil can be presented to us. When this happens, we subconsciously choose whether or not to accept this evil. This where the theories of Thomas Hobbes and John Locke become interesting as both men differed in the way they believed human nature to be. Hobbes and Locke both picture a different scene when they express human nature.

  • Intellectual Goodness in The Way of Reasons by Aristotle

    868 Words  | 2 Pages

    ...f an animal such as the chimpanzee can identify a situation and then project an expectation of the outcome, then above that place itself within the situation with a reaction to its outcome, would that refute Aristotle’s claim that animals are not capable of goodness? One can look at these examples and begin to question his beliefs. If the chimpanzee can identify the actions of another then modify its’ behavior to work toward a better situation for its fellow animals, then one should come to the conclusion that this is the same as the man coming to the aid of the damsel. The individual forgoes any benefit to himself and acts only for the benefit of the other. Then ultimately will lead to happiness for all. So Aristotle’s claim isn’t completely without fault, there is a potential for beings other than man to have an innate desire to move toward a general happiness.

  • A Contrast of Moral and Natural Liberty

    569 Words  | 2 Pages

    Firstly, a major way in which these two liberties, natural and moral, contrast is in their origin. John Winthrop states that natural liberty is “common to man with beasts and other creatures” (166). Natural liberty is a liberty that man is born with, though they do not retain heritage alone, as they must share it with the wildlife that is born around them. It is a liberty that is most feral in nature, aligning man with the “beasts” they walk among. Winthrop makes the comment that “It is a liberty to evil as well as to good” (166). Natural liberty does not inherently stem from either side of the coin, neither good nor evil. It is simply an innate inheritance gifted upon e...

  • Nature Vs Nurture In Plato's The Republic

    1435 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the humdrum and mundane events of human life, the question is often wondered if certain abstract characteristics are given to individuals via nature or nurture. This notion has been the core of debates for centuries. The nature notion suggests that individuals are innately gifted with their talent. Adverse to nature is the idea that a person’s talents or skills are acquired through a knowledge that has been taught to them i.e. nurture. Like any debate, nature and nurture have their respective followers. Philosophical greats, such as Plato even offered his perspective on the nature vs nurture debacle. In his work, The Republic, Plato vicariously speaks his thoughts through his character Socrates. Socrates defends his view of justice against his friends Glaucon and Adeimantus. Socrates asserts that justice, in itself, is a naturally good and is desired. To defend his view of justice, Socrates must first construct what he believes to be a

  • An Analysis of Matt Ridley’s The Origins of Virtue

    968 Words  | 2 Pages

    Inwardly examining his own nature, man would prefer to see himself as a virtuously courageous being designed in the image of a divine supernatural force. Not to say that the true nature of man is a complete beast, he does posses, like many other creatures admirable traits. As author Matt Ridley examines the nature of man in his work The Origins of Virtue, both the selfish and altruistic sides of man are explored. Upon making an honest and accurate assessment of his character, it seems evident that man is not such a creature divinely set apart from the trappings of selfishness and immorality. Rather than put man at either extreme it seems more accurate to describe man as a creature whose tendency is to look out for himself first, as a means of survival.

  • Walking the Line: Human and Inhuman

    Separating what is natural and unnatural, Frankenstein and his creature both walk the line (SP12). Their actions at times reflect those of a normal being that craves to strive and fit in with the world, but they also take turns falling into a mindset beyond humanity. Pushing the boundaries into new frontiers is not always a positive thing. Ethical codes of humans separate themselves from the barbaric ways on animals and also from the ideas of creation. A line must be drawn to separate man from beast, and man from god in order to preserve the natural order of things so that humanity can retain what it has without reaching too far and losing it all.

    Naturalism is about bringing humans into the “natural world”. We, as humans, are seen as aspects of nature collectively not separate like they once were. “Naturalism holds that everything we are and do is connected to the rest of the world and derived from conditions that precede us and surround us. Each of us is an unfolding natural process, and every aspect of that process is caused, and is a cause itself ” (“A Guide for Naturalism”). Humans are like “animals” they contain the same drives that animals have. They are just plain “natural”. Many authors express naturalism in their writings such as Kate Chopin. She expresses a naturalistic view on sexual drives which classify her as a naturalistic writer.

    Confucius is known for stressing that human nature is intrinsically good. He stresses that human beings are born with the ability for differentiating between wrong and right. A person may not be aware from infancy which acts are tolerable and which acts are not, but all offspring feel shame, and once the children learn which deeds are bad or good, they have a normal tendency to consent of the former and criticize of the latter (Van and Bryan 27).

  • Essay On Second Nature

    1292 Words  | 3 Pages

    The notion of second nature was introduced in McDowell’s book, ‘Mind and World’ by reference to Aristotle’s ethics. Aristotle argues that it takes habituation to evolve ethical virtue, for ethical virtue is not naturally given but is based upon natural tendencies that are realized through habituation. However, for Aristotle second nature does not develop from potentialities inherent in first nature but is a corruption of real human nature.
