摘要:This brief response to Goodenough and Deacon’s essay “From Biology to Consciousness to Morality”sets
forth Michael Polanyi’s criticism of evolutionary ideas of his day. It analyzes Polanyi’s approach to biology
and suggests there are affinities with the provocative evolutionary sketch Goodenough and Deacon provide of
the development of the human capacity for moral experience.
