Darwinian Hedonism and the Epidemic of Unhealthy Behavior

by David M. Williams, Michael Ruse

This book brings a new perspective to psychological hedonism as a fundamental theory of human behavior based on ideas grounded in affective neuroscience and evolutionary biology. The resulting Darwinian hedonism viewpoint is then applied to the growing epidemic of unhealthy behaviour; including poor diet, physical inactivity, and substance use.
