Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This interdisciplinary collection presents novel theories, includes provocative re-workings of longstanding arguments, and offers a healthy cross-pollination of ideas to the morality literature. Structures, functions, and content of morality are reconsidered as cultural, religious, and political components are added to the standard biological/environmental mix. Innovative concepts such as the Periodic Table of Ethics and evidence for morality in non-human species illuminate areas for further discussion and research. And some of the book’s contributors question premises we hold dear, such as morality as a product of reason, the existence of moral truths, and the motto “life is good.” Highlights of the coverage: The tripartite theory of Machiavellian morality: judgment, influence, and conscience as distinct moral adaptations. Prosocial morality from a biological, cultural, and developmental perspective. The containment problem and the evolutionary debunking of morality. A comparative perspective on the evolution of moral behavior. A moral guide to depravity: religiously-motivated violence and sexual selection. Game theory and the strategic logic of moral intuitions. The Evolution of Morality makes a stimulating supplementary text for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in the evolutionary sciences, particularly in psychology, biology, anthropology, sociology, political science, religious studies, and philosophy

Book excerpt: Moral thinking pervades our practical lives, but where did this way of thinking come from, and what purpose does it serve? Is it to be explained by environmental pressures on our ancestors a million years ago, or is it a cultural invention of more recent origin? In The Evolution of Morality, Richard Joyce takes up these controversial questions, finding that the evidence supports an innate basis to human morality. As a moral philosopher, Joyce is interested in whether any implications follow from this hypothesis. Might the fact that the human brain has been biologically prepared by natural selection to engage in moral judgment serve in some sense to vindicate this way of thinking—staving off the threat of moral skepticism, or even undergirding some version of moral realism? Or if morality has an adaptive explanation in genetic terms—if it is, as Joyce writes, "just something that helped our ancestors make more babies"—might such an explanation actually undermine morality's central role in our lives? He carefully examines both the evolutionary "vindication of morality" and the evolutionary "debunking of morality," considering the skeptical view more seriously than have others who have treated the subject. Interdisciplinary and combining the latest results from the empirical sciences with philosophical discussion, The Evolution of Morality is one of the few books in this area written from the perspective of moral philosophy. Concise and without technical jargon, the arguments are rigorous but accessible to readers from different academic backgrounds. Joyce discusses complex issues in plain language while advocating subtle and sometimes radical views. The Evolution of Morality lays the philosophical foundations for further research into the biological understanding of human morality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an evolutionary perspective on the development of morals in human societies, taking into account factors such as social dynamics, cultural norms, and individual psychology. Janes argues that moral systems are not fixed or innate, but rather emerge and evolve over time in response to changing conditions and needs. Drawing on a wide range of examples from history and anthropology, he demonstrates how different societies have developed distinct moral codes and how these codes have adapted to new challenges and opportunities.

Book excerpt: "Morals and the Evolution of Man" by Max Simon Nordau is a thought-provoking examination of the relationship between morality and the process of human evolution. Published in 1891, Nordau's work seeks to reconcile the principles of moral philosophy with the scientific theories of evolution that were gaining prominence during the late 19th century. At the heart of "Morals and the Evolution of Man" is Nordau's exploration of the evolutionary origins of human morality. Drawing upon the insights of Charles Darwin and other leading scientists of his time, Nordau argues that moral principles and ethical codes have evolved over millennia in response to the challenges and demands of human existence. Nordau examines various aspects of human behavior, including altruism, cooperation, and social organization, through the lens of evolutionary theory. He suggests that these behaviors have been shaped by natural selection and the struggle for survival, ultimately leading to the development of complex moral systems and ethical norms. One of the central themes of the book is the idea that morality is not fixed or immutable but is instead subject to change and adaptation over time. Nordau explores the historical development of moral philosophy and ethical thought, tracing the evolution of moral principles from ancient civilizations to modern society. In addition to his discussions of the evolutionary origins of morality, Nordau also considers the implications of his theories for contemporary society. He reflects on the challenges facing humanity in the modern world, including issues of social justice, inequality, and the ethical implications of scientific and technological advancements. Throughout the book, Nordau's writing is characterized by its clarity, rigor, and interdisciplinary approach. He draws upon a wide range of sources, including philosophy, psychology, and anthropology, to offer a comprehensive analysis of morality and its evolution. "Morals and the Evolution of Man" remains a significant work in the history of moral philosophy and evolutionary theory, offering valuable insights into the origins and development of human morality. Nordau's ideas continue to stimulate discussion and debate among scholars and readers interested in the intersection of science, ethics, and human behavior.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do people behave in moral ways in some circumstances, but not in others? In order to account fully for morality, Dennis Krebs departs from traditional approaches to morality that suggest that children acquire morals through socialization, cultural indoctrination, and moral reasoning. He suggests that such approaches can be subsumed, refined, and revised gainfully within an evolutionary framework. Relying on evolutionary theory, Krebs offers an account of how notions of morality originated in the human species. He updates Darwin's early ideas about how dispositions to obey authority, to control antisocial urges, and to behave in altruistic and cooperative ways originated and evolved, then goes on to update Darwin's account of how humans acquired a moral sense. Krebs explains why the theory of evolution does not dictate that all animals are selfish and immoral by nature. On the contrary, he argues that moral behaviors and moral judgments evolved to serve certain functions. Krebs examines theory and research on the evolution of primitive forms of prosocial conduct displayed by humans and other animals, then discusses the evolution of uniquely human prosocial behaviors. He describes how a sense of morality originated during the course of human evolution through strategic social interactions among members of small groups, and how it was expanded and refined in modern societies, explaining how this sense gives rise to culturally universal and culturally relative moral norms. Krebs argues that although humans' unique cognitive abilities endow them with the capacity to engage in sophisticated forms of moral reasoning, people rarely live up their potential in their everyday lives. Four conceptions of what it means to be a moral person are identified, with the conclusion that people are naturally inclined to meet the standards of each conception under certain conditions. The key to making the world a more moral place lies in creating environments in which good guys finish first and cheaters fail to prosper.
