Darwin risked a great deal in publishing his theory of evolution, so something very powerful--a moral fire--must have propelled him. That moral fire, argue authors Desmond and Moore, was a passionate hatred of slavery. They draw on a wealth of fresh manuscripts, correspondence, notebooks, diaries, and even ships' logs to show how Darwin's abolitionism had deep roots in his mother's family and was reinforced by his voyage on the Beagle as well as by events in America. Leading apologists for slavery in Darwin's time argued that blacks and whites were separate species, with whites created superior. Darwin believed that the races belonged to the same human family, and slavery was therefore a sin.--From publisher description. 000326975 60010 $$aDarwin, Charles,$$d1809-1882$$xEthics. 000326975 60010 $$aDarwin, Charles,$$d1809-1882$$xPolitical and social views. 000326975 650_0 $$aHuman evolution$$xPhilosophy. 000326975 650_0 $$aSlavery$$xPhilosophy. 000326975 650_0 $$aSlavery$$xMoral and ethical aspects. 000326975 7001_ $$aMoore, James R.$$q(James Richard),$$d1947- 000326975 85200 $$bgen$$hGN281.4$$i.D47$$i2009 000326975 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0905/2008043482-b.html 000326975 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0905/2008043482-d.html 000326975 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:326975$$pGLOBAL_SET 000326975 980__ $$aBIB 000326975 980__ $$aBOOK
