Michael Ruse explores such topics as the nature of scientific theories, the relationships between culture and biology, the problem of progress and the extent to which evolutionary issues pose problems for religious beliefs. He identifies these issues, highlighting the problems for morality in a world governed by natural selection. By taking a philosophical viewpoint, the full ethical and moral dimensions of human evolution are examined. This book engages the reader in a thorough discussion of the issues, appealing to students in philosophy, biology and anthropology"--. -- ISBN : 9781139223355 (online ; pdf). -- 1139223356. -- 9781139219921. -- 1139219928. -- 1280568534. -- 9781280568534. -- 9780511844263. -- 0511844263. -- 9780521117937. -- 0521117933. -- 9780521133722. -- 0521133726. -- 9781139216821.
