Description
Stephen Ward combines history and evolutionary psychology for a comprehensive view of the social irrationality plaguing democracies. Human nature has both extreme Darwinian traits promoting competition and sociable traits of cooperation and empathy. When social tensions trigger the former, they become maladaptive and dangerous.
Stephen J.A. Ward is Distinguished Lecturer in Ethics at the University of British Columbia and the author of several books, including Objectively Engaged Journalism: An Ethic.
