10、 the essence of man. There were various viewsabout what constitutes it, but there was agreement that such an essence exists - that is to say,that there is something by virtue of which man is man. Thus man was defined as a rationalbeing, as a social animal, an animal that can make tools, or a symbol-

11、making animal.More recently, this traditional view has begun to be questioned. One reason for this changewas the increasing emphasis given to the historical approach to man. An examination of thehistory of humanity suggested that man in our epoch is so different from man in previoustimes that it see

12、med unrealistic to assume that men in every age have had in commonsomething that can be called human nature. The historical approach was reinforced,particularly in the United States, by studies in the field of cultural anthropology. The study ofprimitive peoples has discovered such a diversity of cu

Or inorder to prove the rationality and necessity of the capitalist form of society, scholars have triedto make a case f

15、or acquisitiveness, competitiveness, and selfishness as innate human traits.Popularly, one refers cynically to human nature in accepting the inevitability of suchundesirable human behavior as greed, murder, cheating and lying.Another reason for skepticism about the concept of human nature probably l

16、ies in theinfluence of evolutionary thinking. Once man came to be seen as developing in the process ofevolution, the idea of a substance which is contained in his essence seemed untenable.

They give us valuable practice in making eyes, brainand muscles work together. In tennis, our eyes see the ball coming, judge its speed anddirection and pass this
