Free evolution, Reading Notes PS: The pitfalls dug in April this year, it is hard to fill in again...
After reading four articles from the elephant Association, some of the previous questions become deeper.
I tried to clarify
S: "There are two extreme reactions: one is to feel that people's morality is just like this, but it is also a genetic manipulator; one is how anger can understand people's social and cultural attributes from a biological perspective."
S: "selfish genes are just a metaphor. They do not mean that an individual consciously implements this behavior. In addition, individual interests are sometimes at odds with genetic interests. using a condom to enjoy sexual pleasure is an example. The special reason is that some psychological mechanisms develop independently beyond the purpose of the original strategy, and more people have the autonomy of super-genetic. "S:" I feel that I still cannot grasp the degree of understanding and promotion. Can we say that many behavioral tendencies are unconscious? Or is the underlying (genetic) purpose encapsulated by other consciousness? Can we start from this to make moral judgments, such as the "Green Tea" mentioned in the comments "? After being exposed to evolutionary psychology, what are the concepts of consciousness and Morality ?"
Following general Hui's recommendation, I found Daniel Dennett's free evolution.
What should I do? Books are difficult, but they are not difficult, but lively and rare.
The first time, I got a rough idea about some problems, but it was still difficult to express them. Let's move on to some scattered experiences first ~
Uncle Dennett gave me a new view of philosophy. He thinks his view of free will is of the nature: that is to say, philosophical investigations do not take precedence over natural science, but constitute a partnership with these truth exploration undertakings. The proper work of philosophers is to clarify and unify ideas that often conflict with each other, to obtain a single cosmic picture. That means to welcome the gifts from well-established scientific discoveries and theories and use them as raw materials for the construction of philosophical theories.
In fact, this is the best way to take care of readers in the philosophical books I have read (although I have not read a few =. = ). I sometimes have evil doubts (ignoring the understanding of my dregs), some authors intentionally write hard and hard to understand to show the force, or are not capable of concise and clear expression. Run the question.
If you are interested, follow the link at the beginning to read those articles, but be careful. I saw a buddy say, "after reading this article, I have no hope for my life .." Dannett's first chapter clarified the traditional fear of the above native interpretations, and pointed out that we have the ability to say the things we cherish (Free Will, various virtues) based on a more reliable foundation, "the truth will truly make us more free ".
To be continue...
Hui always said everything I could not say ..
Humans are no longer just dummies
