책소개

A powerful treatise that demonstrates the existence of altruism in nature, with surprising implications for human society

Does altruism exist? Or is human nature entirely selfish? In this eloquent and accessible book, famed biologist David Sloan Wilson provides new answers to this age-old question based on the latest developments in evolutionary science.
 
From an evolutionary viewpoint, Wilson argues, altruism is inextricably linked to the functional organization of groups. “Groups that work” undeniably exist in nature and human society, although special conditions are required for their evolution. Humans are one of the most groupish species on earth, in some ways comparable to social insect colonies and multi-cellular organisms. The case that altruism evolves in all social species is surprisingly simple to make.
 
Yet the implications for human society are far from obvious. Some of the most venerable criteria for defining altruism aren’t worth caring much about, any more than we care much whether we are paid by cash or check. Altruism defined in terms of thoughts and feelings is notably absent from religion, even though altruism defined in terms of action is notably present. The economic case for selfishness can be decisively rejected. The quality of everyday life depends critically on people who overtly care about the welfare of others. Yet, like any other adaptation, altruism can have pathological manifestations. Wilson concludes by showing how a social theory that goes beyond altruism by focusing on group function can help to improve the human condition.

저자소개

데이비드 슬론 윌슨(지은이)

세계적인 진화 생물학자이자 진화 인류학자이다. 현재 뉴욕 주립 대학교의 생물학과 인류학 교수이다. 자연 선택 이론을 둘러싼 논쟁에서 집단 선택 이론을 주장하며 선택의 단계와 관련하여 새로운 장을 열었으며, 종교와 전쟁, 지역 사회를 비롯한 집단 내, 집단 간 이타적 행동을 설명하는 데 크나큰 기여를 하였다. 상아탑에 갇혀 학문적 연구에만 몰두하지 않고 인간에 대한 진화론적 이해를 확장하여 교육과 공공 정책 등 실제 인간 사회에 적용하는 데 관심을 두고 각종 프로그램들을 기획, 운영하고 있다. 이 책의 근간이 되는 ‘이웃 개선 프로젝트(Neighborhood Project)’ 또한 인간에서 이타성이 진화된 조건과 원리 등에 대한 진화적 이해를 바탕으로 뉴욕 빙엄턴 지역 사회에서 개개인이 삶의 질을 개선할 수 있게끔 이웃 간에 협력하는 방안을 모색하는 사회 실험 프로젝트이다. 저서로는 『종교는 진화한다(Darwin’s Cathedral)』『타자에 대하여(Unto Others)』『문화적 동물(The Literary Animal)』『유기체로서의 사회(Society as Organism)』등이 있다.
