  • Human Nature and the Limits of Science

    In this book, Dupre shows flaws in projects showing understandings in human nature, evolutionary psychology, and rational choice theory. He uses a pluralistic approach, one that provides insights from many ideals, not just science, to help provide a better understanding of the large phenomena that is human nature.
