In Reflections on Human Nature, Lovejoy devotes particular attention to influential figures such as Hobbes, Locke, Bishop Butler, and Mandeville, tracing developments and changes in the concept of human nature through the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. He also discusses the theory of human nature held by the founders of the American Constitution, giving special attention to James Madison and the "Federalist Papers." 606 $aPhilosophy$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01060777 606 $aPhilosophy 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPhilosophy. 615 0$aPhilosophy. 700 $aLovejoy$b Arthur O$g(Arthur Oncken),$f1873-1962.$0173909 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910524701303321 996 $aReflections on human nature$9273755 997 $aUNINA
