Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Relation of Evolutionary Theory, to Ethical Problems: With Special Reference to Method The investigation of which this thesis is the outcome, had its origin in a desire to reach a conclusion with regard to the value of the method followed by the great evolutionists in biology when they approached psychological or ethical questions. It is evident that what is at stake in such an investigation is not, in the first instance, the great ethical concepts, for every one would recognize a place for 'duty', 'obligation', 'virtue', etc. The ethical schools differ in their interpretation of these terms by reason of the conceptions of motive, moral criterion, etc. It was very soon recognized that the aspect of the subject which was really Vital was the method of approaching these questions rather than, in the first instance, the solutions reached. For this reason it was felt that in order to appreciate the position of the modern evolutionist, it was necessary to under stand the theories, both psychological and biological, with which he approached the ethical problem. It is the attempt to understand the evolutionist in a sympathetic way which led to the somewhat extensive exposition of Part I. For clearness we have confined the discussion of this part almost altogether to the broad question of the use of the evolutionary method in psychology. Very naturally, then, Part II. Had to be taken up with a discussion of the ethical content, for which, under some form, all moralists have to provide a theory. In Part III. The conclusions reached in Parts I. And II. Have been brieﬂy summarized. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores historical and current discussions of the relevance of evolutionary theory to ethics. The historical section conveys the intellectual struggle that took place within the framework of Darwinism from its inception up to the work of G. C. Williams, W. D. Hamilton, R. D. Alexander, A. L. Trivers, E. O. Wilson, R. Dawkins, and others. The contemporary section discusses ethics within the framework of evolutionary theory as enriched by the works of biologists such as those mentioned above. The issue of whether ethical practice and ethical theory can be grounded in the theory of evolution has taken a new and significant direction within the context of sociobiology and is proving to be a challenge to previous thinking. This book conveys that challenge.

Book excerpt: How can the discoveries made in the biological sciences play a role in a discussion on the foundation of ethics? This book responds to this question by examining how evolutionism can explain and justify the existence of ethical normativity and the emergence of particular moral systems. Written by a team of philosophers and scientists, the essays collected in this volume deal with the limits of evolutionary explanations, the justifications of ethics, and methodological issues concerning evolutionary accounts of ethics, among other topics. They offer deep insights into the origin and purpose of human moral capacities and of moral systems.

Book excerpt: This book analyses the concept of disease, as defined in the context of evolutionary medicine. Upon introducing the reader to evolutionary medicine in its current form and describing its approach to disease instances, the book leverages thoughts and instruments of knowledge of epistemology, social sciences, and ethics to answer the question: “How can we build a timely and appropriate concept of disease?” At first, it looks at the social concerns of medicalization, for example focusing on the suffering of people who have not been diagnosed, or whose suffering is not caused by certain elements that falls under the definitions of disease. In turn, it merges different, both conceptual and empirical considerations in one comprehensive analysis, with the aim of fostering a multidisciplinary understanding of the phenomenon of disease. This book also highlights certain kinds of epistemic injustices that are taking place in the healthcare system, as this is currently conceived in post-industrial societies, thus offering a timely contribution to the current debate around social justice in healthcare.

Book excerpt: The book aims to revitalise the interdisciplinary debate about evolutionary ethics and substantiate the idea that evolution science can provide a rational and robust framework for understanding morality. It also traces pathways for knowledge-based choices to be made about directions for future long-term biological evolution and cultural development in view of adaptation to the expected, probable and possible future and the ecological sustainability of our planetary environment The authors discuss ethical challenges associated with the major biosocial sources of human variation: individual variation, inter-personal variation, inter-group variation, and inter-generational variation. This book approaches the long-term challenges of the human species in a holistic way. Researchers will find an extensive discussion of the key theoretical scientific aspects of the relationship between evolution and morality. Policy makers will find information that can help them better understand from where we are coming and inspire them to make choices and take actions in a longer-term perspective. The general public will find food for thoughts.

Book excerpt: Evolutionary biology, ecology and ethics: at first glance, three different objects of research, three different worldviews and three different scientific communities. In reality, there are both structural and historical links between these disciplines. First, some topics are obviously common across the board. Second, the emerging need for environmental policy management has gradually but radically changed the relationship between these disciplines. Over the last decades in particular, there has emerged a need for an interconnecting meta-paradigm that integrates more strictly evolutionary studies, biodiversity studies and the ethical frameworks that are most appropriate for allowing a lasting co-evolution between natural and social systems. Today such a need is more than a mere luxury, it is an epistemological and practical necessity.

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: "Evolution and Ethics" is a collection of essays written by Thomas Henry Huxley, a prominent English biologist and advocate for Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. The book was first published in 1893 and brings together Huxley's thoughts on the implications of evolutionary theory for ethics and morality. Key features of "Evolution and Ethics" include: Integration of Evolutionary Theory and Ethics: Huxley explores the relationship between the theory of evolution and ethical principles. He seeks to reconcile the scientific understanding of evolution with moral philosophy, addressing the potential impact of evolutionary ideas on traditional ethical frameworks. Naturalistic Ethics: One of the central themes of the book is Huxley's advocacy for a naturalistic approach to ethics. He suggests that ethical principles can be derived from an understanding of the natural world and human evolution, rather than relying solely on religious or supernatural foundations. Scientific Rationalism: Throughout the essays, Huxley emphasizes the importance of applying scientific reasoning to ethical questions. He promotes a rational and empirical approach to understanding human behavior and morality. Critique of Social Darwinism: While Huxley was a strong supporter of evolutionary theory, he was critical of certain interpretations, particularly those associated with Social Darwinism. He cautioned against using evolutionary ideas to justify social inequality or unethical practices, emphasizing that ethical considerations should guide human conduct. Humanitarian Values: Despite the naturalistic approach, Huxley advocates for humanitarian values. He argues that an understanding of evolution should lead to a greater sense of human responsibility and empathy, rather than providing a rationale for selfish or ruthless behavior. Intellectual Rigor: Huxley's writing in "Evolution and Ethics" reflects his characteristic intellectual rigor and clarity. He presents his arguments in a logical and systematic manner, making the complex relationship between evolution and ethics accessible to a broad readership. "Evolution and Ethics" is an important work in the history of the discussion on the relationship between science and morality. It reflects the intellectual climate of the late 19th century and the ongoing dialogue about the implications of Darwinian evolution for various aspects of human thought and society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evolutionary theory tells us about our biological past; can it also guide us to a moral future? Paul Farber's compelling book describes a century-old philosophical hope held by many biologists, anthropologists, psychologists, and social thinkers: that universal ethical and social imperatives are built into human nature and can be discovered through knowledge of evolutionary theory. Farber describes three upsurges of enthusiasm for evolutionary ethics. The first came in the early years of mid-nineteenth century evolutionary theories; the second in the 1920s and '30s, in the years after the cultural catastrophe of World War I; and the third arrived with the recent grand claims of sociobiology to offer a sound biological basis for a theory of human culture. Unlike many who have written on evolutionary ethics, Farber considers the responses made by philosophers over the years. He maintains that their devastating criticisms have been forgotten—thus the history of evolutionary ethics is essentially one of oft-repeated philosophical mistakes. Historians, scientists, social scientists, and anyone concerned about the elusive basis of selflessness, altruism, and morality will welcome Farber's enlightening book.
