Where science has often been used to explore the questions raised
by art, this book does the reverse, suggesting that art can address
a problem raised by science: the deep challenge to ethics posed by
Darwin's discovery that we are intentional beings living in an
unintentional world. Using "Hamlet," "Othello," and "Macbeth,"
among others, Angus Fletcher shows how the physical experience of
art can transform Darwin's discouraging theory into a
practice-based ethics that establishes pluralism, curiosity, and
cooperation as the basis of progressive life.
