Triết học và khoa học về bản chất con người
Philosophy and the Science of Human Nature pairs central
texts from Western philosophical tradition (including works by Plato,
Aristotle, Epictetus, Hobbes, Kant, Mill, Rawls, and Nozick) with recent
findings in cognitive science and related fields. The course is structured
around three intertwined sets of topics: Happiness and Flourishing; Morality
and Justice; and Political Legitimacy and Social Structures.
