Are we Darwinists - where we live and let live? Or are we nurturing as a society? There has to be a standard of living that we decide to support.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We should not live by Darwinian principles. But Darwin explains how we got here.
We are fashioned not by our genes, but by our environment - by the family and socio-historic conditions in which we evolve.
Darwinism is not merely a support for naturalistic philosophy: it is a product of naturalistic philosophy.
Nothing in our evolutionary history specifically prepared us to live in large societies. Almost everything about the way culture works does.
The human's place in the universe will be set in the scheme of evolution, the product of our biological inheritance.
We are embedded in a biological world and related to the organisms around us.
Humans are just a very, very small part of the panoply of life, and it is arguable that in a certain sense, humans have emancipated themselves from Darwinian selection.
Just as the earth is a planet in its own right, so each of us is an individual in our own sphere of habitation. We are individuals, but we live in families and communities where order provides a system of harmony that hinges on obedience to principles.
The big problem of our modern society is that we feel that we are separated from the nature. But it's just the opposite. We are interrelated and our DNA is the same. And only when human beings understand that, the nature will not be obstacle.
I'm here as a product of process of evolution, which doesn't make very many exceptions. And which rates life relatively cheaply.
