This interdisciplinary collection presents novel theories, includes
provocative re-workings of longstanding arguments, and offers a
healthy cross-pollination of ideas to the morality literature.
Structures, functions, and content of morality are reconsidered as
cultural, religious, and political components are added to the
standard biological/environmental mix. Innovative concepts such as
the Periodic Table of Ethics and evidence for morality in non-human
species illuminate areas for further discussion and research. And
some of the book's contributors question premises we hold dear,
such as morality as a product of reason, the existence of moral
truths, and the motto "life is good." Highlights of the coverage:
The tripartite theory of Machiavellian morality: judgment,
influence, and conscience as distinct moral adaptations. Prosocial
morality from a biological, cultural, and developmental
perspective. The containment problem and the evolutionary debunking
of morality. A comparative perspective on the evolution of moral
behavior. A moral guide to depravity: religiously-motivated
violence and sexual selection. Game theory and the strategic logic
of moral intuitions. The Evolution of Morality makes a stimulating
supplementary text for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses
in the evolutionary sciences, particularly in psychology, biology,
anthropology, sociology, political science, religious studies, and
philosophy
