Evolution and ethics viewed from within two metaphors: machine and organism
HISTORY AND PHILOSOPHY OF THE LIFE SCIENCES(2022)
摘要
How is moral thinking, ethics, related to evolutionary theorizing? There are two approaches, epitomized by Charles Darwin who works under the metaphor of the world as a machine, and by Herbert Spencer who works under the metaphor of the world as an organism. Although the author prefers the first approach, the aim of this paper is to give a disinterested account of both approaches.
