Abstract

Deontology Ethics Ethics, Primitive Ethology Humanities Moral philosophy Morality Morals Philosophy, Moral Science, Moral
In recent decades the humanities have been in thrall to postmodern skepticism, while Darwinists, brimming with confidence in the genuine progress they have made in the sciences of biology and psychology, have set their sights on rescuing the humanities from the ravages of postmodernism. In this volume, Eugene Goodheart attacks the neo-Darwinist approach to the arts and articulates a powerful defense of humanist criticism.
