The War on Human Nature in Australia's Political Culture Collected Essays

This collection of essays argues that the social sciences' neglect of human nature has weakened Western political culture, particularly in Australia. It contends that ignoring behavioral biology has fueled radical ideologies and led to flawed policies concerning immigration, ethnic hierarchies, and gender. The book critically examines irrationality in academic and media discussions on topics like feminism, national identity, and multiculturalism. A final chapter highlights the work of scholar Hiram Caton, who championed the integration of human nature sciences into social studies.
