Genetics and human behaviour are rarely out of the news these days, so the
release of a revised edition of Mary Midgley’s Beast and Man: The Roots of Human
Nature is timely. Negotiating the potentially treacherous waters of sociobiology
with flair, Midgely’s philosophical perspective brings a breath of fresh air to
the nature/nurture debate. Published by Routledge, £12.99, ISBN
0415127408.
