- W1640237218 abstract "In order to defend Darwinism against socio-political ideologies tarnishing its image, Patrick Tort, using an immanent reading of Darwin’s anthropology, is now presenting this naturalist as genealogist par excellence of universalist morality and theorist of peace of state of civilization. As a result, Darwin competed with philosophers of universal morality and of social contract hypothesis as a path to perpetual peace. Natural selection, accused of promoting a state of war that eliminates weak, is held up as an engine that, paradoxically, brings about passage from state of war to state of universal peace. This would be possible thanks to gradual selection of social feelings, effect of which tends to cancel removal of selection and to take on universal dimensions. Tort calls this phenomenon the reversive effect of evolution. Thus, by resorting to explanation by selection, universal perpetual peace, regarded by Kant as what collective actors who have become reasonable would ultimately want to focus on after a long history of wars they were waging against each other, – due to antagonism of their own liberties –, is from outset attributed to an opportunistic natural law acting without design. The regulating effect of idea of perpetual and universal peace is lost. So, one has effort to overcome this risk and to make Kantian intuition compatible with theory of natural selection. On one hand, this is accomplished on basis of Neural Darwinism of Edelman claiming, as name suggests, its continuity with Darwin. His ambition is to account for occurrence of mental faculties in humans endowed with freedom and intentionality, able to use heuristic fictions in social organization. His hypothesis provides an opportunity to rethink peace as a task for humanity in harmony with theory of selection. On other hand, study of limitations of explanation by selection in biology, a holistic point of view, reveals need to be complemented by an individualistic and developmental perspective as in the Evo-devo Super synthesis. In fact, a developmental version of concept of reversive effect of evolution can be found in political anthropology of Kant, where universal antagonism produces against itself practical reason giving way to transition from state of natural war to state of peace. His horizon is cosmopolitan peace, a political concept of humanity. Otherwise, ascribing realization of cosmopolitan peace to melioristic action of natural selection, in its strict sense, might plunge humanity into a wait-and-see attitude and passivity, whereas ascribing it to goodwill of humanity is to empower it, to mobilize minds in seeking conditions to bring it about." @default.
