AN INTEGRATION OF TWO MAIN VIEWS ON HUMAN NATURE

Abstract

The article deals with the two main views concerning human nature – «tragic» and «utopian» that oppose each other. Both of them have appeared in the last few centuries and gradually penetrated into modern science. To make an integration of both approaches, the author has elaborated and used the dual-system and multilevel «Person-oriented conception of happiness» (POCH). Its application enables to integrate both views within a larger scientific frame on different POCH levels, thus escaping the former opposition between them.
