  • More about Emotional Amoral Egoism: A Neurophilosophy of Human Nature and Motivations


Our innate predispositions impact key issues, but our society's governance structures determine how we act on them. Professor Nayef Al-Rodhan proposes a new governance paradigm to reconcile the tension between human nature and human dignity.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 238 pages
Publication date: 28 October 2021
Publisher: James Clarke & Co Ltd


In this extensively revised second edition of Emotional Amoral Egoism, Professor Nayef Al-Rodhan delves into the profound influence of our inherent predispositions on a range of critical issues, including conflict, inequality, and transcultural understanding. He also explores the impact of these predispositions on contemporary topics such as Big Data, fake news, and the social contract. However, it is the social environments we inhabit and the governance structures that shape our actions based on these predispositions that ultimately determine our behavior.

Consequently, Al-Rodhan proposes a novel and sustainable governance paradigm that aims to reconcile the inherent tension between the three attributes of human nature (Emotional Amoral Egoism) and the nine critical needs of human dignity. This book serves as a valuable resource for enlightened readers, academics, and policy makers interested in understanding how our innate instincts and tendencies shape the world we live in, and how the interplay between neurophilosophy and policy can be harnessed to create pragmatic and sustainable solutions for peace, security, and prosperity for all individuals, at all times, and under all circumstances.
