Some are questions we have all asked ourselves: Why are people violent? Is anyone just born evil? Why is there so much suffering in the world? We might ask these questions with a certain level of cynicism, or perhaps sadness, not even expecting a real answer, but philosophers have taken these fundamental questions seriously for thousands of years. This course is fueled by the power of questions, one of philosophy’s most potent tools. American psychologist Paul Bloom and many more.Buddhist monk and scholar Shantideva (or Śāntideva).Christian theologian Augustine of Hippo.With Professor Breyer’s expert guidance, you will engage with a wide range of great thinkers, including: This multi-cultural approach will help you see humanity from many perspectives, providing a wider opportunity for you to find your own answers. In this course, you won’t just find yourself seeking answers to some of life’s biggest questions-you’ll also discover entirely new ideas from traditions you’ve not yet encountered. Thinkers from across the world and in many different eras have considered the dark side of human nature, and that’s why this course will adopt a cross-cultural approach, investigating perspectives from many different traditions-from the Hindu Bhagavad Gita and the Buddhist Way of the Bodhisattva to the Christian Bible and the scholarship of contemporary philosophers and psychologists. We’ll never fully appreciate who we really are-or who we might ultimately become. But the truth is that unless we honestly confront who we are in all its sordid glory, we’ll never fully understand ourselves. These are difficult topics, to be sure, and at least for some people, it would be easier to look away, rather than investigate them. In exploring the dark side of human nature, you won’t just explore what it means to be evil you’ll explore humanity’s fragile underbelly by investigating such topics as our thirst for vengeance, our tendency toward anger, our inability to do what we know is right, and much more. In the 24 lectures of Understanding the Dark Side of Human Nature, Professor Daniel Breyer takes you on a fascinating philosophical journey into some of the deepest-and darkest-questions that have haunted humanity for millennia.
