Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From mitochondria to meerkats, the natural world is full of spectacular examples of social behaviour. In the early 1960s Bill Hamilton changed the way we think about how such behaviour evolves. He introduced three key innovations - now known as Hamilton's rule, kin selection, and inclusive fitness - which have been enormously influential, but which remain the subject of fierce controversy. Hamilton's pioneering work kick-started a research program now known as social evolution theory. This is a book about the philosophical foundations and future prospects of that program. Part I, "Foundations", is a careful exposition and defence of Hamilton's ideas, with a few modifications along the way. In Part II, "Extensions", Jonathan Birch shows how these ideas can be applied to phenomena including cooperation in micro-organisms, cooperation among the cells of a multicellular organism, and culturally evolved cooperation in the earliest human societies. Birch argues that real progress can be made in understanding microbial evolution, evolutionary transitions, and human evolution by viewing them through the lens of social evolution theory, provided the theory is interpreted with care and adapted where necessary. The Philosophy of Social Evolution places social evolution theory on a firm philosophical footing and sets out exciting new directions for further work.

Passions and instincts are the roots of individual and of social action. Bees swarm by instinct, seek for wax and honey in their daily rounds amongst the flowers, and build their honeycombs in a sheltered hive, wherever most conveniently situated. Other species of insects have different instincts, and obey these tendencies as fatally as an apple falls to the ground, or the earth" moves round the sun in a predetermined orbit. Greater or lesser degrees pertain to each species. The spider has one sort of intellectual endowment, the ant-lion has another: one weaves a web to catch flies for his provision, the other delves a conical pit in fine sand for his unwary victims to fall into, but each of these operations denotes a particular kind of intellect to construct the snares intended to procure the prey the insects want to feed upon. These predacious instincts of small insects might be thought superior to the instincts of some of the higher animals, such as sheep, which seem almost devoid of intelligence beyond that of selecting food in accordance with the sense of taste; though, possibly, in a wild state, before their innate faculties have been blunted by artificial conditions, even sheep may know how and where to seek for the food which is by nature fitted for them. How far degrees of intelligence accompany various kinds of sensitivity or sensibility and instinct is not always easy to determine, even in the lowest polyps, such as the sea-anemone, while some degrees of intellect accompany the higher animals of all species, and still higher degrees of intellect belong to the innate instincts of mankind, even where the faculties of reason are undeveloped in individuals or in tribes. By faculties of reason, as...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mortal man does not know how the universe and all that it contains may appear to a superhuman intelligence. Perhaps such an exalted mind is in a position to elaborate a coherent and comprehensive monistic interpretation of all phenomena. Man—up to now, at least—has always gone lamentably amiss in his attempts to bridge the gulf that he sees yawning between mind and matter, between the rider and the horse, between the mason and the stone. It would be preposterous to view this failure as a sufficient demonstration of the soundness of a dualistic philosophy. All that we can infer from it is that science—at least for the time being—must adopt a dualistic approach, less as a philosophical explanation than as a methodological device. Methodological dualism refrains from any proposition concerning essences and metaphysical constructs. It merely takes into account the fact that we do not know how external events—physical, chemical, and physiological—affect human thoughts, ideas, and judgments of value. This ignorance splits the realm of knowledge into two separate fields, the realm of external events, commonly called nature, and the realm of human thought and action. Older ages looked upon the issue from a moral or religious point of view. Materialist monism was rejected as incompatible with the Christian dualism of the Creator and the creation, and of the immortal soul and the mortal body. Determinism was rejected as incompatible with the fundamental principles of morality as well as with the penal code. Most of what was advanced in these controversies to support the respective dogmas was unessential and is irrelevant from the methodological point of view of our day. The determinists did little more than repeat their thesis again and again, without trying to substantiate it. The indeterminists denied their adversaries’ statements but were unable to strike at their weak points. The long debates were not very helpful.

Excerpt: ...growth in different races and communities, independently of rational or imaginary theories. CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITIES. Constitutional authorities and responsibilities are necessary in all degrees of society (domestic, municipal, professional, national, international, and universal). By constitutional we mean limited, elective, selective, and responsible authorities, in contrast with infallible and irresponsible popes, emperors, high-priests, kings, protectors, and dictators. Man and woman elect each other to become man and wife; heads of a family, with authority to generate children, educate, and protect them from evil, and also with power to engage servants and administer the household. This is a miniature type of all communities. The inhabitants of a parish or a township elect a council of aldermen and a mayor, with authority to generate or formulate laws and regulations for the government of the district, engage municipal officers, administer the affairs of the parish, and control subordinate agencies. Public companies elect boards of directors to manage the business and control officers and agents. Professional corporations, military, legal, clerical, &c, are controlled by responsible ministers of state, for the departments of justice and peace, war and diplomacy, public instruction and religion, financial and other branches of administration. Professions are governed by responsible authorities wherever they are under discipline and regulative laws of order. National authorities in constitutional monarchies or republics, with hereditary monarchs or elective presidents, are controlled by representatives of the people in Parliament, who choose and control ministers of state for all departments of the public service.

This book was released on 2020-03-30 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a scientific justification for the optimal formula of social justice through a critical analysis of the basic principles of Marxism. While interest in Marxism is particularly prevalent in China today, the theory developed here concerning the origins and evolution of man will be of interest to everyone, and will help to contextualise questions of social justice within a scientific framework. By providing a new interpretation of Hegelian thought, alongside a synthesis of the thinking of Darwin and Marx, the book details a law of the development of society, using notable events from world history, particularly the collapse of the USSR, to verify it.
