"A fine achievement."--Peter Singer, author of The Life You Can Save and The Most Good You Can Do
A sweeping psychological history of human goodness -- from the foundations of evolution to the modern political and social challenges humanity is now facing.
How did humans, a species of self-centered apes, come to care about others? Since Darwin, scientists have tried to answer this question using evolutionary theory. In The Kindness of Strangers, psychologist Michael E. McCullough shows why they have failed and offers a new explanation instead. From the moment nomadic humans first settled down until the aftermath of the Second World War, our species has confronted repeated crises that we could only survive by changing our behavior. As McCullough argues, these choices weren't enabled by an evolved moral sense, but with moral invention -- driven not by evolution's dictates but by reason.
Today's challenges -- climate change, mass migration, nationalism -- are some of humanity's greatest yet. In revealing how past crises shaped the foundations of human concern, The Kindness of Strangers offers clues for how we can adapt our moral thinking to survive these challenges as well.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'This book is about one of the great zoological wonders of the world . In short, it answers one of the biggest questions science has ever faced: Why do we give a damn about the welfare of strangers Ever since Darwin, a legion of social scientists, biologists, and other scholars have attempted to explain human morality in terms of evolutionary biology--in on our modern parlance, they have looked for altruism in our genes. And yet, whether they subscribe to kin selection or group selection or something in between, they have failed to explain where morality comes from or how it works. In [this book, the author] offers a new answer: Looking for morality in our biology is a mistake, and morality, like any new technology, had to be discovered, refined, and adopted'--Provided by publisher.
