A Darwinian Left: Politics, Evolution, and Cooperation (inscribed)

Part of Yale University Press's "Darwinism Today" series from prominent evolutionary thinkers, in this slim book Singer "shows how the insights of modern evolutionary theory, particularly on the evolution of cooperation, can help the left attain its social and politicla goals." Singer is a moral philosopher and professor of bioethics as Princeton, best known for his book Animal Liberation, which extended the concept of "the greatest good for the greatest number" to animals and argued for vegetarianism (famously Michael Pollan begins his book The Omnivore's Dilemma by reading Animal Liberation while eating a steak at a restaurant). Singer has had a profound influence on environmental thought as a result. Duodecimo, textured purple paper boards, 70 pages.
