This book shows how Darwinian biology supports an Aristotelian view of ethics as rooted in human nature. Defending a conception of `Darwinian natural right' based on the claim that the good is the desirable, the author argues that there are at least twenty natural desires that are universal to all human societies because they are based in human biology.
`This is one of the best works of its kind that I have read in many years. It is extremely well-written and reads beautifully. Arnhart argues for a Darwinian perspective on morality and human nature generally, combined with an Aristotelian perspective. His argument will be extremely controversial.' - Michael Ruse, Editor, Philosophy and Biology
