The downward spiral of human-centeredness has caused thinkers to champion free will and morality as the last separation between man and the animals, or argue that we live in a completely mechanistic Skinnerite universe in which there is no real higher ethics. This book contends that in fact there is morality and free will, but that we share those traits with the other inhabitants of the natural world. He develops this idea from a Darwinian perspective and applies it towards the creation of new ethics that is neither rationally derived nor existentially chosen, but instead arises from our status as biological beings.
