I enjoyed the book but disagree with the author on the conclusions since unlike the author I'm not a anarcho-socialist. It's extremely biased but what is presented is mostly fact and history, even if examples are cherry-picked, but that's what happens when you start of with a clear agenda and don't let mere facts interfere with your plan. ( ) Şayet Bencil Gen başlıklı kitabımın insanlara ayrılmış ikinci bir cildi olsaydı, sanırım aşağı yukarı Erdemin Kökenlerine benzer bir eser ortaya çıkardı. Richard Dawkins. İnsanlar neden topluluklar halinde yaşar? Toplumlar nasıl ortaya çıkmıştır? Peki, insanlar arasındaki işbirliğinin kökeninde ne vardır? Yoksa bizi özveri ve işbirliğine yönelten şey aklımız ya da vicdanımız değil de aslında milyonlarca yıllık genetik programımız mı aslında? Her yıl aynı göç yolunu izleyen kırlangıçlardan bir farkımız yok mu bu açıdan? Matt Ridley bu soruları, antropoloji ve zoolojiden ekonomi ve oyun kuramına kadar uzanan çok geniş bir yelpazede, evrimsel biyolojinin bulgularına dayanarak ele alıyor ve tartışma yaratacak, kışkırtıcı yanıtlara ulaşıyor. The Origins of Virtue: I found this book convincing, detailed, well-sourced, and very easy to read. The author does a great job of presenting theories and opinions in context with their intellectual progenitors. Best of all it was an optimistic and pleasant work of non-fiction, which is a rare enough thing. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

"If evolution by natural selection relentlessly favors self-interest, why do human beings live in complex societies and show so much cooperative spirit? In The Origins of Virtue, Matt Ridley, a zoologist and former American editor of the Economist, shows that recent research in a number of fields has suggested a resolution of the apparent contradiction between self-interest and mutual aid. Brilliantly orchestrating the new findings of geneticists, psychologists, and anthropologists, The Origins of Virtue re-examines the everyday assumptions upon which we base our actions towards others, whether we are nurturing parents, siblings, or trade partners." "The Origins of Virtue searches for the roots of that capacity for trust, contrasts it with the social instincts of ants, baboons, and naked mole rats, and draws provocative conclusions for our understanding of politics. Ridley not only traces the evolution of society but shows us how breakthroughs in computer programming, microbiology, and economics have all played their role in providing us with a unique perspective on how and why we relate to each other."--Jacket.
