Professor John Dupre Gifford Lecture Series: Lecture Five Recording. While no one doubts that all humans are members of a single species, is there anything to human nature beyond belonging to this particular lineage. While there are, of course, many statistical facts about humans, Professor Dupré argues for skepticism about any stronger understanding of human nature. Fortunately, while there is no essence defining the human, the evolutionary history of humans has left us an entirely sharp boundary between humans and non-humans. Within the broad category defined by the human lineage, many further distinctions are often made, most notably divisions into cultures, races and sexes. This lecture will consider how we should understand these distinctions within the context of a process philosophy.
