Description
Abstract: Evolutionary theory and much of modern moral theory grew up in the shadows of Newton and Hume. Unlike 20th century physics, which devised new metaphysical concepts to accommodate revolutionary ideas, many biologists' understanding of evolutionary causation and evolutionary ethics remains confounded by the earlier metaphysics. Recently, Humean skepticism and mechanistic selectionism have coincided in postmodern attacks on essentialism, on meta-narratives of progress, on models of human nature, and on collective morality. Against this new wave of foundational skepticism, contemporary complex systems science suggests useful alternatives for evolutionary causation, the biology of human nature, and their implications for ethics.
