Description

Challenge everything you thought you knew about human nature with this landmark exploration of altruism and selflessness. Unto Others, published by Harvard University Press, presents a groundbreaking scientific argument that unselfish behaviour is not merely an aberration but a genuine and vital feature of both biological and human nature. Written by philosopher Elliott Sober and biologist David Sloan Wilson, this acclaimed work dismantles decades of cynical scientific orthodoxy claiming that hidden selfishness motivates all our actions. Through a panoramic survey spanning the animal kingdom-from self-sacrificing parasites to insects functioning within superorganisms-the authors build an irrefutable case for the evolutionary reality of altruism. Whether you study psychology, philosophy, biology or simply wish to understand the scientific basis for human goodness, this book offers rigorous, evidence-based insights that reshape how we view ourselves and our capacity for genuine generosity.

Key Features

Unto Others presents a comprehensive scientific argument that unselfish behaviour represents an important feature of biological and human nature.

The book examines altruism throughout the animal kingdom, from parasites and insects to complex social organisms, providing empirical foundations.

Elliott Sober and David Sloan Wilson combine philosophical reasoning with biological evidence to challenge prevailing scientific cynicism about human motivation.

This Harvard University Press publication arrives in mint condition with guaranteed packaging and same-day dispatch for orders before noon.

No-quibbles returns policy ensures complete satisfaction with your purchase of this landmark work on evolutionary psychology and altruism.
