Professor Daniel Breyer – Dark Side of Human Nature
Do you consider yourself to be evil? Absolutely not! No one does. The world is full of suffering and violence. The stories are in the news. We can see the images online. We know how bad things can be, but we are not like those who do evil. What makes us so sure? How different are we? Is it possible that we are similar to those who have done the worst things? We are all human. Isn’t we?
There were 24 lectures. Understanding the dark side of nature. Professor Daniel Breyer takes you on a fascinating journey into some of the deepest and darkest questions that have haunted humanity for thousands of years. You will explore the dark side of human nature by looking at topics such as our thirst for vengeance, our tendency toward anger, and our inability to do what we know is right. It would be easier for some people to look away from these difficult topics. We will never fully understand ourselves unless we confront who we are. We will never fully appreciate who we are.
A cross-cultural approach.
Thinkers from across the world and in many different eras have considered the dark side of human nature, and that is why this course will use a cross-cultural approach. You will discover entirely new ideas from traditions you have not yet encountered in this course.
The multi-cultural approach will give you a chance to find your own answers. You will engage with a wide range of great thinkers with Professor Breyer’s expert guidance.
- Confucian philosopher Mencius;
- Doaist thinker Zhuangzi;
- Stoic philosopher Seneca;
- Christian theologian Augustine of Hippo;
- Buddhist monk and scholar Shantideva (or Śāntideva);
- Existentialist thinker Albert Camus;
- English philosopher Miranda Fricker;
- American psychologist Paul Bloom; and many more.
There are fascinating questions.
One of philosophy’s most potent tools is the power of questions. Some of the questions we have asked ourselves. People are violent. Is anyone evil? There is a lot of suffering in the world. Philosophers have taken these questions seriously for thousands of years, even if we don’t expect a real answer. Professor Breyer offers guidance on how to build flourishing and meaningful lives in the face of darkness by mining insights from many different traditions.
It is difficult to confront the dark side of human nature. You won’t find every point of view completely satisfying, and sometimes you won’t even know which arguments to believe, but you will be constantly engaged in an ongoing conversation with an expert guide whose goal is to help you think for yourself and reach your own answers to difficult questions like these
- If someone does something evil, does that mean they’re an evil person?
- What does it say about us if we do something awful in our dreams?
- Is it rational to fear death?
- Do we live in a just world, where victims are to blame for their own suffering?
- Can anything good come from painful emotions like anger and grief?
- Is there something wired into human nature that drives us to kill others?
- Is anyone ever beyond redemption or forgiveness?
- With so much suffering in the world, how can we create meaningful lives?
Stories and thought experiments are used to explore the dark side.
Get it immediately. There is a dark side to human nature.
Thinkers from many different traditions have used stories and thought experiments to explore difficult questions. In. Understanding the dark side of nature. You will find fascinating thought experiments and stories that help us find meaning in our own lives.
You will explore many others.
- Gyges’ Ring . Plato tells of Gyges, a man who found a ring that could make him invisible. With help from this newfound power, he seduced the king’s wife, killed the king, and took over the entire kingdom. If we had a mechanism for escaping punishment, would we honestly live a just life, or one that took us to the dark side?
- Zen Parable of the Two Brothers . Two brothers were shopping when they noticed an aging woman who needed help. The older brother carried her and her bags to her car. The younger brother was upset the woman hadn’t said, “Thank you,” and he brought that up again and again later in the day. The older brother responded, “Little brother, I set that woman down hours ago. Why are you still carrying her?” Why do we have a craving for things to go a particular way and allow ourselves to be distraught when they don’t?
- A Mother’s Grief. In a famous Buddhist story, a woman loses her baby and becomes overcome with grief, looking for medicine that could bring him back to life. The Buddha says he will help if she can find a pinch of mustard seed from a household untouched by the suffering of death. She finds the spice easily enough, but every household shares a story about a loved one lost. Is it possible that grief, one of our darkest emotions, is valuable to us, as we learn positive lessons about life and the need for community?
- The Luck of the Two Partygoers . Two people attend a party, drink beyond the point of legal intoxication, get in their separate cars to drive home, lose control of their cars, and swerve onto the sidewalk. In one case, a man standing on that sidewalk is killed. In the other, the sidewalk was empty. Both partygoers broke the law by driving while intoxicated. Should we judge them the same, or differently? How can we take responsibility for our actions, but recognize the role that luck plays in our lives?
These thought experiments and stories, along with many others, will help you wrestle with big ideas and dark questions by making them vividly real.
We need to confront the dark side of humanity if we want to understand ourselves and the world around us. In. Understanding the dark side of nature. As you attempt to find your own answers to life’s biggest questions, you’ll be guided by thinkers from across the world, with whom you’ll engage in a great conversation. Will you confront your dark side? Do you want to live in a troubled world?
