Human Nature After Darwin by Janet Radcliffe Richards
"Human Nature After Darwin" is a philosophical examination of the implications of Darwinian theory on our understanding of human nature and ethics. The book critically explores how evolutionary biology impacts our views on morality, politics, and philosophy. It challenges the assumption that biological explanations can justify social policies or moral values, arguing instead for a clear distinction between scientific facts and ethical norms. The author engages with various debates on human nature, using Darwinian insights to question traditional views and to propose a more nuanced perspective on human behavior and ethical reasoning.
