And what are the ethical and political consequences of how we answer this question? How have our views on this changed from the times of the ancient Greek and Chinese philosophers? What do contemporary evolutionary biologists and advocates of uploading human consciousness onto computers think about it? This volume collects essays from leading scholars in philosophy, history, and other disciplines to explore these and numerous other questions related to human nature and its significance throughout history.
