Compare Darwinian Conservatism by Larry Arnhart, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

The Left has traditionally assumed that human nature is so malleable, so perfectible, that it can be shaped in almost any direction. Conservatives object, arguing that social order arises not from rational planning but from the spontaneous order of instincts and habits. Darwinian biology sustains conservative social thought by showing how the human capacity for spontaneous order arises from social instincts and a moral sense shaped by natural selection in human evolutionary history. | Darwinian Conservatism by Larry Arnhart, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
