Mary’s At It Again

Mary Midgely, that is. And by "it", I mean a total misrepresentation of the views of Richard Dawkins. There’s a piece in today’s Independent which seems to show that, almost thirty years on from her crass misunderstanding of Dawkins’ The Selfish Gene, she still hasn’t learnt anything and continues to peddle falsehoods. I’m almost inclined to believe that the term "moral philosopher" is an oxymoron in her particular case.
