If morality evolved, what follows for how we ought to live? Cora May Williams works through every thinker of the 1890s who built a full ethical system on evolutionary theory, giving each a chapter: Darwin, Wallace, Haeckel, Herbert Spencer, John Fiske, Leslie Stephen, Harald Höffding and several German writers little read in English.
A thorough map of a debate that shaped late-Victorian moral philosophy, for readers of Spencer, Darwin and the history of ethics. Download the free EPUB.
