"In Who Are We? Theories of Human Nature, esteemed author Louis P. Pojman explores major theories in Western philosophy and religion, along with several traditions in Eastern thought. The most comprehensive work of its kind, the volume opens with chapters on the Hebrew/Christian view of human nature and the contrasting classical Greek theories, outlining a dichotomy between faith and reason that loosely frames the rest of the book."--BOOK JACKET.
