Descriptions, Reviews, etc.

Description: In this book, Nicolas Baumard explores the theory that morality was originally an adaptation to the biological market of cooperation, an arena in which individuals competed to be selected for cooperative interactions. It is with this evolutionary approach that Baumard accounts for the specific structure of human morality.

Review Quotes: "readers interested in contractualist normative theory might benefit from his exposition of the theory in the light of evolutionary theory. Baumard writes without using many technicalities and so the book should be accessible for the non-specialist reader, too." -- Metapsychology Online Reviews
