This question of whether extraterrestrials will be altruistic has become increasingly important in recent years as SETI scientists have begun contemplating transmissions from Earth to make contact. Should we expect altruism to evolve throughout the cosmos, or is this only wishful thinking? Would this make biological sense? Is it dangerous to send messages to other worlds, as Stephen Hawking has suggested? Would extraterrestrial societies be based on different ethical principles? Extraterrestrial Altruism explores these and related questions about the motivations of civilizations beyond Earth, providing new insights that are critical for SETI. Chapters are authored by leading scholars from diverse disciplines?anthropology, astronomy, biology, chemistry, computer science, cosmology, engineering, history of science, law, philosophy, psychology, public policy, and sociology. The book is carefully edited by Douglas Vakoch, Director of Interstellar Message Composition at the SETI Institute and professor of clinical psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies. The Foreword is by Frank Drake. This interdisciplinary book will benefit everybody trying to understand whether evolution and ethics are unique to Earth, or whether they are built into the fabric of the universe. 410 0$aThe Frontiers Collection,$x1612-3018 606 $aAstrobiology 606 $aEthics 606 $aPlanetology 606 $aCross-cultural psychology 606 $aCommunication 606 $aAstrobiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22057 606 $aEthics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E14000 606 $aPlanetology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G18010 606 $aCross Cultural Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20100 606 $aCommunication Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X28000 615 0$aAstrobiology. 615 0$aEthics. 615 0$aPlanetology. 615 0$aCross-cultural psychology. 615 0$aCommunication. 615 14$aAstrobiology. 615 24$aEthics. 615 24$aPlanetology. 615 24$aCross Cultural Psychology. 615 24$aCommunication Studies. 676 $a170.44 702 $aVakoch$b Douglas A$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910739470403321 996 $aExtraterrestrial Altruism$91770803 997 $aUNINA
