Frankenstein Human Theory

A framework for understanding human beings as assembled from incompatible models: the rational actor, the emotional creature, the social role-player, the biological organism, the narrative self. No single model captures the human. Frankenstein Human Theory uses all of them, acknowledging contradictions (e.g., free will and determinism, selfishness and altruism). It rejects the search for a unified “human nature.” It is a pluralist, pragmatic approach for psychology, anthropology, and philosophy.

Example: “Frankenstein Human Theory explained her behaviour: rational in budgeting, emotional in relationships, biological in hunger, social in conformity—all true, all contradictory.”
