Description: Moral Animals offers a brand new approach to moral theory. Drawing on anthropology, sociology, and evolutionary theory, as well as philosophy of language and philosophy of science, Catherine Wilson shows how to understand and reconcile our moral aspirations for a just world with the constraints human nature places on us. This ambitious book will spark fresh debates within philosophy and across the social sciences.

Review Quotes: "She makes a strong case for adopting her modified version of egalitarianism...Wilson's contribution will be useful for students and scholars who are concerned with ethics and moral theory."--CHOICE
