Delve into the origins of morality with “The Moral Wager: Evolution and Contract.” This compelling book from The Bookish Owl offers an evolutionary perspective on ethics, introducing a novel “consent theory.” Utilizing game theory, it illustrates how morality arises from strategic negotiation, emphasizing natural convergence over rational self-interest. Discover how this approach differs from traditional contractarianism, challenging notions of universal, rational morality. The author uses a fascinating betting analogy to illuminate the core arguments, exploring situations where high-risk, high-reward choices define evolutionary success. Perfect for philosophy enthusiasts and those interested in the intersection of evolution and ethics.
