Scientists and philosophers have found it difficult to understand how each human-being can be a living part of the natural world and still be free. Midgley explores their responses to this seeming paradox and argues that our evolutionary origin explains both why and how human freedom and morality have come about.Free will and determinismHuman beingsHuman evolutionMoral and ethical aspectsEthicsFree will and determinism.Human beings.Human evolutionMoral and ethical aspects.Ethics.170/.42Midgley Mary1919-554950MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910966071003321The ethical primate4488889UNINA
