Evolutionary Pragmatism and Ethics

Beth L. Eddy

4.9/5 (18759 ratings)

Description:In the late nineteenth century, culture critics who were readers of Darwin s work on evolution pondered what the implications of natural selection might be for human culture, religion and ethics. American pragmatists, by and large, rejected a social Darwinian spin on ethics, economics, and theology in favor of a less determinate humanist version of the ethical implications that emphasized contingency and meliorism. The early arguments between T. H. Huxley and William Sumner over the issues mirrors the contemporary arguments between Stephen Jay Gould and others against the New Atheists determinate interpretation of cultural implications which largely echo the social Darwinists position but in the current language of sociobiology. The work of pragmatists such as William James, George Santayana, Jane Addams, and John Dewey detail an evolutionary perspective that rejects the moral implications of social Darwinism."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
