If human nature is not different from the rest of the nature, then why is human existence so different? Language. Language allows humans to organize efforts that require social cooperation, book writing, and the passage of history from generation to generation. Our brains provide the tools for thinking. The fact that different cultures develop different ideas about human nature was first recognized by the 17th century French philosopher Blaise Pascal. This is the beginning of the existentialist view.
