Philo Agora's talk next Tuesday March1, will be Tim Dean: Evolution
and Moral Ecology
Why is it people of different moral persuasions - such as liberals
and conservatives - just can't seem to see eye to eye on many issues?
The latest research in evolutionary biology, moral and political
psychology and game theory suggests a startling revelation: we have
an evolved moral faculty, but that this faculty operates in different
ways in different people - and it does so for very good evolutionary
reasons. The end result is a 'moral ecology', with a vast plurality
of moral approaches that enables us to respond to a wide range of
environmental situations.
Tim Dean is a PhD candidate in philosophy researching evolution and
moral diversity. He's also an award winning science journalist and
editor of Australian Life Scientist magazine

Read the review of the Last Drop Cafe in the New York Times by
googling the cafe by name in Sydney. Con, the proprietor. is
totally committed. His cafe can be reached from the city by buses
along New Canterbury Road or Marrickville Rd (426 & 428). There is
also ample parking in the Council car parks across the street and
behind the cafe
