We're Only Human

What is human nature? This question breaks down into two parts. One part is what people mean when they talk about human nature. Clearly people have different ideas about what human nature is in fact — or even if there is any such thing. I explain my own view. There are six basic drives. Broadly, hunger; health; sociability; creativity; sexuality; autonomy. Social scientists ignore the topic. Yet a view of human nature is constantly assumed.
