The evolution of morality[electronic resource] /edited by Todd K. Shackelford, Ranald D. Hansen. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2016. - xiv, 323 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm. - Evolutionary Psychology,2197-9898. - Evolutionary Psychology..

Part I: Psychological Design and Development -- The Tripartite Theory of Machiavellian Morality: Judgment, Influence, and Conscience as Distinct Moral Adaptations -- Morality as Cooperation: A Problem-Centered Approach -- An Evolving and Developing Field of Study: Prosocial Morality from a Biological, Cultural, and Developmental Perspective -- Part II: Philosophy and Ethics -- Evolutionary Awareness: A Metacognitive Framework for Ethics -- The Containment Problem and the Evolutionary Debunking of Morality -- Life is Not Good -- Antinatalism in Biological and Cultural Evolution: Fertility and Suicide -- Part III: Animal Behavior and Comparative Psychology -- A Comparative Perspective on the Evolution of Moral Behavior -- Helping Another in Distress: Lessons from Rats -- Part IV: Religious beliefs and behavior -- A Moral Guide to Depravity: Religiously-Motivated Violence and Sexual Selection -- Disentangling Religion and Morality: An Analysis of religiosity in the United States -- Part V: Politics, Law, and Game Theory -- The Evolved Functions of Procedural Fairness: An Adaptation for Politics -- Property Law Reflections of a Sense of Right and Wrong -- Game Theory and Morality.

This interdisciplinary collection presents novel theories, includes provocative re-workings of longstanding arguments, and offers a healthy cross-pollination of ideas to the morality literature. Structures, functions, and content of morality are reconsidered as cultural, religious, and political components are added to the standard biological/environmental mix. Innovative concepts such as the Periodic Table of Ethics and evidence for morality in non-human species illuminate areas for further discussion and research. And some of the book's contributors question premises we hold dear, such as morality as a product of reason, the existence of moral truths, and the motto "life is good." Highlights of the coverage: The tripartite theory of Machiavellian morality: judgment, influence, and conscience as distinct moral adaptations. Prosocial morality from a biological, cultural, and developmental perspective. The containment problem and the evolutionary debunking of morality. A comparative perspective on the evolution of moral behavior. A moral guide to depravity: religiously-motivated violence and sexual selection. Game theory and the strategic logic of moral intuitions. The Evolution of Morality makes a stimulating supplementary text for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in the evolutionary sciences, particularly in psychology, biology, anthropology, sociology, political science, religious studies, and philosophy.
