Publisher's Synopsis
""Human Nature Surveyed: In Two Essays"" is a philosophical work written by Andrew Wilson and published in 1758. The book is divided into two essays, each exploring different aspects of human nature. The first essay focuses on the concept of human freedom and determinism, examining the relationship between the two and arguing that human beings possess a degree of free will that allows them to make choices independent of external factors. The second essay delves into the nature of human consciousness, exploring the ways in which the mind processes information and the role of perception in shaping our understanding of the world. Throughout the book, Wilson draws on a range of philosophical and scientific sources to support his arguments, offering a thought-provoking exploration of the complexities of human nature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
