Moral Darwinism- The fittest conscience: new take on evolution.
Did science take a wrong turn on Darwin?
Discusses thoughts by psychologist, system scientist, and evolution
theorist David Loye published in Dec 1999 in book "Darwin's Lost Theory
of Love". Loye claims biological science focus on "Origin of the
Species" to the exclusion of his later work " The Decent of Man"
overlooked and therefore misinterpreted Darwin's more complete thoughts
on evolution.
"Important as the struggle for existence has been and still is yet as
far as the highest part of our nature is concerned there are other
agencies more important. For the moral qualities are advanced... much
more through the effects of habits, by our reasoning powers, by
instruction, by religion.. than through natural selection" Charle Darwin
- The Decent of Man
Amazon Book Description
Darwin's Lost Theory of Love is the story of the discovery of a major
theory of Darwin's that has been ignored for over 100 years. Focusing on
the impact on our evolution of love, sex and moral sensitivity rather
than selfishness and survival of the fittest, this theory wholly
contradicts both the scientific and the popular portrait of Darwin
prevailing over the 20th century.
Based on page after page of Darwin's own long ignored writings, it
includes his overlooked uncovering of a third major process of evolution
that offers new hope for humanity during the 21st century. A former
member of the Princeton and UCLA School of Medicine faculties, cofounder
of the General Evolution Research Group and author of the award-winning
The Healing of a Nation, Loye is a widely respected social scientist.
Among well-known scientists and evolution theorists of many fields who
have read and endorse the book are general evolution theorist Ervin
Laszlo, brain scientist Paul MacLean, and biologist Humberto Maturana.
