- Abstract
An overview of ethical thought in the West is carried out from a Darwinian perspective. Classical Greek thought is the starting point especially in connection with Aristotle's Politics and above all with his Ethics. It is contended that the Christian would be 'interference' so as the one implied in the naturalistic revival of the 16 and 17 centuries (Descartes, Hobbes, Spinoza) and especially the one advanced by the Scottish Enlightenment in the work of David Hume and Adam Smith fit nicely in the Darwinian interpretation. The same goes for the Aristotelian view and its Kantian version so as with the supposedly novel Heideggerian ideas in themselves and in the version of his French followers (Foucault, Levinas, Derrida) so as in the one defended by his Germanic would be "irrationalist" forerunners (Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard). In a sentence, the present ethical Darwinisation of the wold would take over as well historical thought.
