- catalog abstract ""What can science tell us about morality? It is often said that science - because it tells us about the way the world is and not how it ought to be - can have nothing to say about ethical matters; yet scientists increasingly tell us that evolutionary biology has much to tell us about our values. This new book argues that only a multidisciplinary approach will enable us to understand morality." "The multidisciplinary nature of this book makes it accessible to anyone interested in the relation of ethics to biology, social science and the humanities."--Jacket.".
