Humans and Evolution: Philosophical and Theological Perspectives

Education facts

Code: NI0431

Vilka implikationer som evolutionsteorin egentligen har för vår syn på människans natur och hennes plats i kosmos är något som biologer, evolutionspsykologer, filosofer och teologer alltjämt diskuterar. I denna kurs analyserar vi denna tematik med särskilt fokus på människans sociala och moraliska natur. Är evolutionen en process som enbart kan främja själviskhet, eller kan den också ge upphov till moralisk agens och altruism?
