THE BIOLOGICAL AND SOCIAL ESSENCE OF HUMAN NATURE
Abstract and keywords
Abstract:
This article provides a socio-philosophical analysis of the relationship between the biological and the social in humans. Within the framework of philosophical anthropology and socio-philosophical theories, the main approaches to clarifying the underlying foundations of the biosocial essence of human nature are examined. The authors demonstrate that humans are not simply the result of the interaction of natural and social factors but represent an integrated system in which the biological and social, mediated by the processes of human creation and consumption of spiritual and material culture, interpenetrate each other. This radically accelerates the transformation of the socio-cultural essence of human nature.
