Jesse Prinz

In this engaging discussion, Jesse Prinz, a CUNY philosophy professor and author of "Beyond Human Nature," dives into the age-old nature vs. nurture debate. He argues that human behavior is largely shaped by cultural influences rather than just biology. The conversation explores gender differences, the complexities of morality, and the evolution of language acquisition. Prinz also critiques traditional views on empathy, using film to illustrate how cultural narratives reflect and shape moral systems.
