Bending the Rules

TRAMA

Combining an evolutionary approach to morality with observations on how people behave in the real world, this considers the bending of morals in a variety of situations.

NOTE EDITORE

Everywhere stealing, lying and killing are considered wrong. But in some contexts, in war for example, these codes can differ. Robert Hinde argues that understanding the evolutionary origins of our morality and how we bend the rules can help guide us away from global catastrophe and towards a more ethical world.
