Part Two presents the relevant sociobiological theories focusing on Robert Trivers work on the evolution of moral emotions, and Richard Alexander s and Pierre van den Berghe s work on the evolution of group behavior and ethnocentrism. Part Three analyzes the traditional philosophical work on international morality in light of new sociobiological ideas."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
