About this book
Out of the investigations and speculations of contemporary science a challenging view of human behavior and society has emerged and gained strength. It is a view that equates "human nature" utterly and unalterably with the pursuit of self-interest. Influenced by this view people increasingly appeal to natural imperatives instead of moral ones to explain and justify their actions and those of others.
