Abstract

Que vous soyez pour ou contre, de droite ou de gauche, vous croyez tout savoir sur le libéralisme, "sauvage" pour les uns, "salutaire" pour les autres. Mais pourquoi faut-il supprimer la législation sur la concurrence, instaurer la liberté d’immigration, supprimer le monopole de la Sécurité sociale ou encore recourir aux privatisations pour résoudre les problèmes écologiques ? Pourquoi l’euro n’est-il pas une invention libérale ? Pourquoi la mondialisation est-elle préférable à l’intégration régionale ? Pourquoi la politique de stabilisation est-elle une source d’instabilité économique ? Une réévaluation en profondeur de la pensée libérale ; une contribution iconoclaste aux débats sur les principes et la philosophie qui doivent nous guider. Et si le libéralisme, fort des trois principes que sont la liberté, la propriété, la responsabilité, était le véritable humanisme, la seule vraie utopie réaliste qui autorise la plus belle des espérances pour notre temps : la confiance optimiste dans l’individu ?

Abstract

Kim Sterelny develops a novel account of the speed and extent of human evolutionary divergence from the great ape stock. The book does not explain human uniqueness by positing a critical adaptive breakthrough (episodic memory; advanced theory of mind; planning and causal reasoning; language). Rather, it identifies a series of positive feedback loops between initially minor advances in social tolerance, ecological flexibility, cooperative foraging, social learning, and links the results of these feedback loops to the archaeological and anthropological record.

Abstract

Why do humans, uniquely among animals, cooperate in large numbers to advance projects for the common good? Contrary to the conventional wisdom in biology and economics, this generous and civic-minded behavior is widespread and cannot be explained simply by far-sighted self-interest or a desire to help close genealogical kin. In "A Cooperative Species", Samuel Bowles and Herbert Gintis - pioneers in the new experimental and evolutionary science of human behavior - show that the central issue is not why selfish people act generously, but instead how genetic and cultural evolution has produced a species in which substantial numbers make sacrifices to uphold ethical norms and to help even total strangers. The authors describe how, for thousands of generations, cooperation with fellow group members has been essential to survival. Groups that created institutions to protect the civic-minded from exploitation by the selfish flourished and prevailed in conflicts with less cooperative groups. Key to this process was the evolution of social emotions such as shame and guilt, and our capacity to internalize social norms so that acting ethically became a personal goal rather than simply a prudent way to avoid punishment. Using experimental, archaeological, genetic, and ethnographic data to calibrate models of the coevolution of genes and culture as well as prehistoric warfare and other forms of group competition, "A Cooperative Species" provides a compelling and novel account of how humans came to be moral and cooperative
