What are the implications of Darwin's ideas for the traditional view of human nature (both
rationalistic and Judeo-Christian versions)?
What are the implications of Darwin's ideas for the traditional view of human nature (both
rationalistic and Judeo-Christian versions)?
Solution
Traditional Western views of human nature assume that all humans have the same human nature:
They are conscious, rational selves who have a purpose. Some Traditional views refer to this
immaterially defined self as the "soul". One important version of the Traditional Western view
of human nature is the ancient Greek view that sees humans as uniquely rational beings with a
purpose. This view contends that reason can and should rule over human desire and
aggressiveness. The Judeo-Christian religious view claims that humans are made in the image of
God, who has endowed them with rational self-consciousness and an ability to love. In the
Christian version, the self is immaterial and distinct from the body.. The Traditional view of
human nature and our ordinary thinking assume that humans have a self that endures through
time. Descartes claims that the enduring self is a soul. Locke argues that memory produces the
enduring self. Buddhism and Hume suggest that there is no enduring self.
Some scientific views challenge the Traditional view of human nature. Darwin argued that
humans evolved from earlier animal species through random variations and a natural selection
that is the result of a struggle for existence. Darwin's view has been taken to imply that human
nature has no purpose and is not unique.
