Political Philosophy
Political Philosophy is concerned with fundamental questions about human nature and human social organization comprising issues of government, democracy, legitimacy, rights, justice, law and duties. It pertains to what they are, what they should be and why they are required. Political philosophy helps to provide the tools with which understand societies.
"EMOTIONAL AMORAL EGOISM": A Neurophilosophical Theory of Human Nature and its Universal Security Implications by Nayef R.F. Al-Rodhan deals with the question of human nature and its consequences for systems of government. It asks whether people are inherently good or bad, whether nature or nurture is more important. Both "EMOTIONAL AMORAL EGOISM": A Neurophilosophical Theory of Human Nature and its Universal Security Implications by Nayef R.F. Al-Rodhan and SUSTAINABLE HISTORY AND THE DIGNITY OF MAN: A Philosophy of History and Civilisational Triumph by Nayef R.F. Al-Rodhan set out a new theory of human nature: "EMOTIONAL AMORAL EGOISM": A Neurophilosophical Theory of Human Nature and its Universal Security Implications by Nayef R.F. Al-Rodhan. Both books are therefore relevant to classical and modern political philosophy. It is a theory of human nature that takes into account the whole range of human existence when considering the question of human motivation. It is also a multidisciplinary approach that draws on a range of religious/spiritual, philosophical, psychological, evolutionary, biological, sociobiological and neuroscientific insights. "EMOTIONAL AMORAL EGOISM": A Neurophilosophical Theory of Human Nature and its Universal Security Implications by Nayef R.F. Al-Rodhan posits that the human mind is a “predisposed tabula rasa” rather than a clean slate. It is, thus, neither a pure product of nature or nurture. It contends that human beings are endowed with moral sensitivities, but do not possess innate morality. As a result, duties towards others, particularly those that do not belong to our immediate families or environment, must be consciously promoted and developed. It also suggests that good governance is critical to encouraging moral behavior, since situations in which insecurity is allowed to fester will lead to immoral behavior since our moral compasses are governed above all by circumstances.
