About Me
- Robert Paul Wolff
- As I observed in one of my books, in politics I am an anarchist, in religion I am an atheist, and in economics I am a Marxist. I am also, rather more importantly, a husband, a father, a grandfather, and a violist.

Hi Prof. Wolff,
First off thanks for your generosity in providing free access to your lectures on youtube. You may have already addressed this topic before. Lately, I have increasingly become interested in the topic of 'human nature'. Currently in graduate school studying the policy process in the context of the environment, I feel like much of what we do as society hinges upon our understanding or belief of who our fellow country men/women are as humans; their nature. We base our arguments, proposals, policies and academic endeavour on some implicit or explicit mental model that we have about human nature. I would be happy to hear your thoughts on this.
Thanks,
BNI
