- English abstract
- This book argues that it is possible to combine Darwinian ideas about the evolution of cooperation and social tendencies with Marxist ideas about the transformative impact of social production on humanity and on its conditions of existence.This combination can assist us in understanding the origins of the “anthropocenic” and globalised world we inhabit.It can help us interpret (and possibly also change)our current cooperative framework.Any account of (and project for) social transformation needs to consider the ways in which the extended biological materiality of human lives and human groups both constrains and enables the processes of (bio)social change:this work does that.
