Product Description
Review
Noam Chomsky, Massachusetts Institute of Technology These studies and reflections on the evolution of psychological traits and the capacities for moral judgment-distinct if related topics-are a welcome contribution. Thoughtful and informative, they provide a good basis for appreciating what has been achieved, and what the prospects might be, in a domain of inquiry that is of fundamental importance for understanding of our essential nature Marc Hauser, Harvard University What would happen at a fictional dinner with the likes of Charles Darwin, Adam Smith, David Hume, and Friedrich Nietzsche debating and revising their views in the light of today's science? Hard to say, perhaps, but one might well imagine that it would be great fun to listen in. Forget fiction. Pick up Evolutionary Origins of Morality and find out how moral psychology is being picked apart by evolutionists. The concise essays and critical exchanges are great fun-and a feast for the mind Biology and Philosophy "The papers are without exception excellent." APA Review of Books "Psychologists will find much to enjoy in this meaty volume." Human Nature Review "A fascinating set of essays" Journal of Moral Education "Provides a wonderfully rich range of viewpoints from a variety of fields."
Marc Hauser, Harvard University
