In Darwinian Politics: The Evolutionary Origins of Freedom, (Rutgers University Press, 2002), Paul Rubin, professor of economics and law at Emory University, demonstrates why certain political-moral philosophies succeed or fail in modern Western culture. Rubin is the first in his field to examine political behavior from a modern evolutionary perspective, and he observes parallel relationships between biology and natural selection and the history of political philosophy. Rubin demonstrates how our evolutionary past is still relevant today and explains the policy implications of his analysis. This event will feature commentary from Rubin and other panelists on the issues described in his book. |
