Opis

Moral Animals offers a brand new approach to moral theory. Drawing on anthropology, sociology, and evolutionary theory, as well as philosophy of language and philosophy of science, Catherine Wilson shows how to understand and reconcile our moral aspirations for a just world with the constraints human nature places on us. This ambitious book will spark fresh debates within philosophy and across the social sciences.

Recenzje

...a carefully argued and ingeniously devised piece of normative ethics, which shows how much philosophical theory, reinforced with insights from anthropology and psychology, can contribute to the perennial problems of social justice.
