“Edward O. Wilson’s recent popular restatement of the sociobiological account of morality, for instance, is so governed by a naive and un-self-reflexive faith in scientific objectivity and authority and so replete with false dichotomies, gross generalizations, simplistic reductionisms, and ill-informed conflations of religious differences that it is a marvel that critical thinkers take these kinds of sociobiological explanations of morality seriously, even though they do emanate from the Ivy League.” - Christian Smith, Moral, Believing Animals
I love when scholars diss each other.
