Abstract

The goal of the presented paper is to provide basic theses of the Ferguson's theory of human nature. Later on it will be examined whether all presented premises may be understood as forming plausible theory without major contradictions. I am going to argue that Ferguson's theory is conclusive not only considering human nature but the relationship between society and individual as well. However, if we want to add the theory of moral sentiment we will find that it causes many difficulties to reconcile it with the Ferguson's understanding of the relationship between individual and society. In the presented work I am interested only in the Ferguson's theory which may be dated back to the time when "An Essay on the History of Civil Society" was written.
