Larry Arnhart reviewing E.O. Wilson in the Claremont Review of Books is a must-read, and does not disappoint.
His blog is excellent, in general. His books, Darwinian Natural Right, and Darwinian Conservatism, should be required reading. His writing is clear and erudite and speaks for itself. "DC" is emphatically not "social darwinism." It could just as easily be called "How human nature and biology support classic liberalism."
The subtitle to DNR, "The Biological Ethics of Human Nature" is instructive here. Another summary might be "how modern biology is compatible with an Aristotlean ethics." I cannot recommend it highly enough.
