Natura ludzka w ujęciu Rogera Scrutona w kontekście wniosków etologicznych Jerzego Chmurzyńskiego
Perz, Tomasz (Wydawnictwo Pallottinum, 2021)
The article presents Scruton and Chmurzyński‘s views on human nature. Scruton‘s philosophical analysis and Chmurzyński‘s methodological compositionism in ethology lead the authors to similar conclusions, in opposition to the reductionist approach of sociobiology. The authors underline that the human being – as a result of biological evolution – has achieved the level unattainable even for most advanced animals. Humanity takes structure of behaviour, in which fulfilling biological imperatives is not sufficient, as there appears space for free will with ethics and aesthetics. A human being is a person who cannot be described only in biological terms. This shows that the vision of humanity presented by Scruton gains a new argument in the form of classical ethology research and conclusions formulated on the basis of it by Chmurzyński.
