Beyond Human Nature

Resumen del libro

Beyond Human Nature is a book about us all - and how we all live our lives, differently. In this provocative tour de force, Jesse Prinz reveals how the cultures we live in determine our lives. He examines all aspects of our behaviour, looking at everything from our intellects and emotions, to love and sex, morality and even madness. This book seeks to go beyond traditional debates of nature and nurture. He is not interested in finding universal laws but, rather, in understanding, explaining and celebrating our differenecs. Prinz shows that the vast diversity of our behaviour is not engrained. He picks up where biological explanations leave off. He tells us the human story.
