Description
In this provocative work, Peter Singer challenges the political left to move beyond Marxist assumptions and confront what evolutionary science reveals about human nature. He argues that acknowledging inherited human dispositions need not lead to conservatism or inequality, but can instead support a more realistic and effective vision of social justice, cooperation, and equality. Combining philosophical analysis with insights from evolutionary psychology, the book examines how the left can preserve its commitment to progress while abandoning utopian ideas that ignore the limits and possibilities of human behavior.
