By C. J. Patten and Charles Joseph Patten

Book Overview

The Passing of the Phantoms: A Study of Evolutionary Psychology and Morals is a book written by C.J. Patten. The book is a comprehensive study of the connection between evolutionary psychology and morals. The author explores the idea that human morality is not a product of cultural or societal influences, but rather an innate aspect of our evolutionary development. Through a series of chapters, Patten delves into various topics related to evolutionary psychology and moral behavior. He discusses the origins of moral behavior in humans and how it has evolved over time. He also explores the role of genetics in moral behavior and the impact of environmental factors on our moral development. The book also examines the relationship between morality and social behavior, including topics such as altruism, cooperation, and aggression. Patten argues that these behaviors are rooted in our evolutionary past and have been shaped by natural selection. Overall, The Passing of the Phantoms is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the connection between evolutionary psychology and moral behavior. It offers a new perspective on the origins of human morality and challenges traditional views on the subject.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
