Abstract
The application of the sociobiological principle of maximization of inclusive fitness to analyses of human social behaviour may be viewed as the ultimate step in the development of the reductionist, zoological conception of man. It can, however, be argued that the theory has also yielded, as a “side-effect”, certain insights which are, in fact, contradictory to the reductionist viewpoint. In particular, sociobiology seems to add a new dimension to the old notion of the duality of human nature, and to provide a fresh perspective for the concept of the human person as distinct from, and not reducible to, the biological concept of the individual.
