Darwinian Natural Right - The Biological Ethics of Human Nature

Shows how Darwinian biology supports an Aristotelian view of ethics as rooted in human nature.

About the author

"This beautiful little book rediscovers the missing biology of Aristotle especially as it applies to moral phisophy and does so in a thoroughly modern way, that is, by integrating it with modern Darwinian thinking, a subject Arnhart easily masters. The result is a very impressive piece of intellectual work, rich in detail and far-reaching in scope and in conclusions." -- Robert Trivers, Rutgers University
