Focusing on the intersection of morality and evolutionary theory, this critique examines the application of Darwin's ideas to human motivation, particularly challenging Richard Dawkins' interpretations. Mary Midgley, a leading figure in British moral philosophy, offers a thoughtful analysis that questions the reductionist view of human behavior, advocating for a more nuanced understanding of moral philosophy in the context of evolution.
