Evolution and Morality – NOMOS LII: NOMOS - American Society for Political and Legal Philosophy

Autor James E. Fleming, Sanford V. Levinson
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 sep 2012
Can theories of evolution explain the development of our capacity for moral judgment and the content of morality itself? If bad behaviour punished by the criminal law is attributable to physical causes, rather than being intentional or voluntary as traditionally assumed, what are the implications for rethinking the criminal justice system? Is evolutionary theory and “nature talk,” at least as practiced to date, inherently conservative and resistant to progressive and feminist proposals for social changes to counter subordination and secure equality? In Evolution and Morality, a group of contributors from philosophy, law, political science, history, and genetics address many of the philosophical, legal, and political issues raised by such questions. This insightful interdisciplinary volume examines the possibilities of a naturalistic ethics, the implications of behavioural morality for reform of the criminal law, the prospects for a bio-political science, and the relationship between nature, culture, and social engineering.

Recenzii

"Too much of the literature in human rights has been limited to a consideration of the detail of specific civil and political rights. This book breaks this pattern by introducing political, economic, social, and theoretical issues in a single volume. "Moral Imperialism" is an interesting and informative collection and should become part of any syllabus on the international protection of human rights."-"Law and Politics Book Review",
