Meer over het boek

The book critiques the misuse of evolutionary theory and economic models in understanding human behavior, arguing that these approaches distort our perception of human nature. John Dupré highlights the flawed reasoning of experts who apply these theories, asserting that they often lead to harmful social and political outcomes. He emphasizes the need to resist scientism, which overestimates the role of science in addressing complex human issues, advocating for a more nuanced understanding of human aims and actions.
