In his 1893 Romanes Lecture at Oxford and its prolegomena, Huxley contends that the ethical progress of society depends not on imitating the struggle for existence but on combating it. Companion essays take up science and morals, capital and labour, and the Salvation Army’s social schemes.

A classic statement on whether nature can teach us how to live, still central to debates on evolutionary ethics. Download the free EPUB.
