El gen egoísta
In volume 53 (1978) of "Philosophy", the journal of the Royal Institute of Philosophy, J. L. Mackie published an article entitled "The Law of the Jungle: Moral Alternatives and Principles of Evolution", praising Dawkins's "The Selfish Gene", and discussing how its ideas might be applied to moral philosophy. Midgley responded in volume 54 (1979) with "Gene-Juggling," arguing that "The Selfish Gene" was about psychological egoism, rather than evolution. In 1981, Dawkins retorted that the comment was "hard to match, in reputable journals, for its patronising condescension toward a fellow academic."
