Preferred term

human nature  

Definition

  • Human nature may be defined as the essence of the human species and consists of all the characteristics and behaviors that are inherent in human beings. While inquiries into human nature have occupied philosophers both classical and contemporary, practical men and women frequently attribute one or another experienced injury or benefit to some element of human nature and make decisions informed by their own hopes and fears.
