Holmes Rolston challenges the sociobiological orthodoxy that would
naturalize science, ethics, and religion. The book argues that
genetic processes are not blind, selfish, and contingent, and that
nature is therefore not value-free. The author examines the
emergence of complex biodiversity through evolutionary history.
Especially remarkable in this narrative is the genesis of human
beings with their capacities for science, ethics, and religion. A
major conceptual task of the book is to relate cultural genesis to
natural genesis. There is also a general account of how values are
created and transmitted in both natural and human cultural history.
The book is written by one of the most well-respected figures in
the philosophy of biology and religion.
