Addressing human nature is not an easy task; on the contrary, it is a complex matter, not at all peaceful and, therefore, of much debate among academics and defenders of each of the multiple positions that have been raised on humanism. For this reason, the purpose of this essay is to show the complexity of the debate that has been taking place on humanism, focusing on four aspects that I consider fundamental to broaden and enlarge the questions that are currently being posed. In this sense, the basic foundations of human nature will be shown, defining its origin, biological and cultural nature, the construction of collectivities and group identity, as well as the sustenance of the confrontation between morality, irrationality and rationality of the human beings.
