| Summary: | Evolutionary ethics goes back to Charles Darwin, for whom the basis of moral sense is the instinct of sympathy. Subsequently, from Herbert Spencer to the present day, numerous publications, mostly intended for professional audiences, have placed different emphasis on the value and relative importance of inheritance and the deliberate control of our behaviour. At the same time, however, some biologists have expressed their understanding of an ethics based on the forming role of the genes by means of easily comprehensible theories that appeal to a broader public. One of these biologists is the Austrian behaviourist Irenäus Eibl-Eibesfeldt. In this article I briefly outline the most important theses of his ethics of survival and then argue why I do not consider them as being conclusive. |
