Human Nature Research: From Metaphysics To Positive Science

As the development of new Darwinism in gene level, sociobiology tries to interpretthe human social life and behavior with gene evolution theory. It concerns geneticstream's effect on human behavior and society, and regards this effect as the foundationof all human behavior and social life. Sociobiology believes that the purpose of allliving things is to project their genes into future generations. Human beings hasdeveloped splendid civilization, but as one of the species of living creatures, humanbeings still can not transcend his own biological purpose. So sociobiology attempts toprobe into the biological origin of human nature structure. It sets the final goal as givingexplanation and forecast of human behavior and history development in gene level. Adopt the evolution theory and absorb the new achievements of molecule biology,sociobiology gives a new perspective and method for human nature research. It brokedualistic barracks between mind and body for its unfaltering materialism and monism.And so forth it redraws the lines between genetics and culture, between emotion andreason, between science and religion, between determinism and freedom, betweenhuman being and the other animals. Overcame the dualism in philosophy and territorialism in social science,sociobiology makes humanities and social sciences come up to a new synthesis on thebasis of human nature research. So human nature research could be a science at final.The uniform and scientific worldview would finally be established on this strong basis. Thorough the research in biological origin of human nature structure, sociobiologyprovides a new paradigm for humanities and social science. It broke the dualisticdistinction between nature and social culture. So man can comprehend himself by theuniform and scientific worldview. As a tool developed for utmost reproduction of gene,human culture and any other products of spirit must obey the gene evolution principle,and also can be explained in gene level. Just like other materials which have no spirit, IIhuman spirit also can be explained by nature law. Through research himself, human canfind out the most proud mystery that how spirit works. At final, human can comprehendhimself.
