This interdisciplinary collection of new essays from leading researchers offers an overview of the current state of the debate on human nature, and develops new positions and discussions in that debate. It features contributions from leading figures in the life sciences, philosophy, psychology, and anthropology. Is human nature something that the natural and social sciences aim to describe, or is it a pernicious fiction? What role, if any, does human nature play in directing and informing scientific work? Can we talk about human nature without invoking-either implicitly or explicitly-a contrast with human culture? What is the historical context of this debate and is resolution likely or even possible?
