Descr. príspevky v zborníku - proceedings papers Language Slovak Country Slovak Republic Annotation Contemporary naturalistic moral philosophers often point out that evolutionary mechanisms have influence on morality. They assume that the process of natural selection shaped our psychological predispositions, which help us to make our moral judgments. However, the process of natural selection did not create these predispositions in a way that they track independent moral truths, but so that they give us the greatest possible chance to survive in our natural and social environment. The aim of the contribution is to critically assess the moral fictionalism of Richard Joyce – a metaethical position according to which we should on the basis that morality is an evolutionary adaptation regard morality as useful fiction and for pragmatic reasons consider our moral statement as true, even though we know that they are all not true. I do not object to the conclusion of moral fictionalism, that we should for pragmatic reasons consider moral statements as true. My point however is that the relationship between evolution and our moral beliefs is not as straightforward as moral fictionalism requires.

Descr. články - journal articles Language Slovak Country Slovak Republic Annotation The aim of the paper is to critically analyse one of the many attempts to explain the origin of our morality using evolutionary theory. Specifically, this paper deals with an anthropological theory presented by Curry, Mullins and White-house in which they predict existence of seven universal moral patterns. They assume that these patterns and morality as such are a biological and cultural response to a need to establish cooperation in human societies. Several weaknesses of their moral theory are pointed out with the conclusion that their theory may be able to explain why it is advantageous with respect to natural selection to prefer certain behaviour, but not why we attribute moral evaluations to a given behaviour. Therefore, their theory does not provide a reason to regard moral elements analysed in the paper as evolutionarily acquired adaptations.
