Hello world! It's been a while.
I have just published an article that I'm quite pleased with, in Analyse & Kritik. It is a review essay of Buchanan & Powell's stimulating recent book 'The evolution of moral progress' which attempts to reconcile evolutionary naturalism with the view that humans are getting better, morally speaking. I don't normally write about morality, but i'm pleased with how my review came out because it gave me a chance to rant about machismo in evolutionary psychology, and also to reference a Tracy Chapman song in my title.
It's behind a fat paywall, but you can access my shareable copy here.
It's called 'The space between', and I wish you the pleasure of now having the song stuck in your head all day.............................
Good review. One of these days we will figure out that other activities besides war require strategy, cooperation, triage, etc.

... an androcentric bias, which assumes that human morality evolved mainly in the context of ??make?? activities
