Colloquia Series on Human Nature
In 2020, the Institute for Studies in Global Prosperity initiated a series of online colloquia on the theme of human nature. The concept of human nature is among the most fundamental concepts that underlies contemporary discourses. All individuals carry certain ideas about the nature of the human being, some of which they are more aware than others. The purpose of the series of colloquia is to reflect more profoundly on the concept of human nature and related ideas.
This first colloquium in this series on human nature focused on the topic of transcending reductive naturalism in order to open up a space for an expanded conception of human nature. The second colloquium explored the topic of overcoming individualism in its various guises in our notion of human nature. The third colloquium considers the ways in which human nature is approached in the social sciences. The sessions of this series can be accessed through the links below.
