<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Previous editions include: Twelve theories of human nature / Leslie Stevenson (6th ed.); Ten theories of human nature / Leslie Stevenson (5th ed.)<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Over six previous editions, <em>Twelve Theories of Human Nature</em> has been a remarkably popular introduction to some of the most influential developments in Western and Eastern thought. Now titled <em>Thirteen Theories of Human Nature, </em> the seventh edition adds a chapter on feminist theory to those on<br>Confucianism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Plato, Aristotle, the Bible, Islam, Kant, Marx, Freud, Sartre, and Darwinism. The authors juxtapose the ideas of these and other thinkers and traditions in a way that helps students understand how humanity has struggled to comprehend its nature. <p/>To encourage students to think critically for themselves and to underscore the similarities and differences between the many theories, the book examines each one on four points--the nature of the universe, the nature of humanity, the diagnosis of the ills of humanity, and the proposed cure for these<br>problems. <p/>Ideal for introductory courses in human nature, introduction to philosophy, and intellectual history, this unique volume will engage and motivate students and other readers to consider how we can understand and improve both ourselves and human society.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><br>I consider <em>Thirteen Theories of Human Nature</em> to be the best text available for undergraduate classes in human nature, views of humankind, or influential worldviews.--Jeff Jordan, <em>University of Delaware</em><p></p><br><em>Thirteen Theories of Human Nature</em> is an excellent investigation into the history of the evolution of the concept of human nature, tracking the momentous philosophical and religious transformations that have shaped the debate.--Ben Miller, <em>Florida State University</em><p></p><br><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><br><strong>Leslie Stevenson</strong> is Honorary Reader in Philosophy at the University of St. Andrews, Scotland. <p/><strong>David L.
