The Kindness of Strangers: How a Selfish Ape Invented a New Moral Code

Michael E. McCullough uses The Kindness of Strangers to investigate how a Selfish Ape Invented a New Moral Code through a carefully framed historical account. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the connected fields of philosophy and psychology. Attention to evidence keeps the discussion anchored while allowing disagreement, uncertainty, and unintended consequences to remain visible. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of the subject and why its consequences still deserve attention.
