內容簡介: |
THE MORAL ANIMAL examines the significance of this
extraordinary shift in our perception of morality and what it means
to be human. Taking the life of Charles Darwin as his context,
Robert Wright brilliantly demonstrates how Darwin''s ideas have
stood the test of time, drawing startling conclusions about the
structure of some of our most basic preoccupations. Why do we
commit adultery, express suicidal tendencies and have the capacity
for self-deception? Wright not only provides the answers to such
fundamental moral questions from the perspective of evolutionary
psychology but challenges us to see ourselves anew through the
clarifying lens of this fledgling and exciting science.
