An extremely well-organized, conceptually clear, empirically
informed, and carefully argued volume...What makes this
contribution special is the invigorating infusion of a wealth of
principles and knowledge derived from evolutionary biology,
neurophysiology, and cognitive science...The chapters provide
abundant material for animated discussion.'' --- Evolution and
Human Behavior, September 1997 When engaging in laboratory and
field studies, researchers have an extensive set of implicit
assumptions that justifies their research. However, these
assumptions are rarely made explicit either to the researchers
themselves, to their colleagues, or to the public. In this
fascinating volume, the author gives insight into these underlying
beliefs that scientists have regarding moral and biological issues
involved in human life-such as decisions that influence
reproductive practices, the termination of life, and the pursuit of
biomedical research. He then uses this descriptive base to develop
an ethic based on rational liberalism. His arguments stem from the
thinking of biologists, moral philosophers, cognitive scientists,
and social and developmental psychologists.
