First published in 1983, this book explores a number of avenues of
critical thinking about Joseph Conrad, showing him as an author
deeply concerned with humankind's ethical motivation and its
relationship with the ideas of evolution current in his day. Allan
Hunter establishes Conrad's detailed knowledge of the leading
evolutionary arguments of the period and the main questions posed:
were ethics God-given or were morals merely an evolved attribute?
His novels are shown as debates with, and extensions of, the
theories of Huxley, Darwin, Carlyle, Spencer, Lombroso and others
on the nature of humanity and altruism.
