Morality, Evolutionism, Alienation

Kant's Moral doctrine is an original formulation of one solution to a traditional premise--that there is an antithesis between Individual and Community.  But, one of the heterodoxical features of Evolutionism is its Biological orientation, with the concept of Organism as one of its elements.  Now, as a combination of Unity and Multiply, the concept of Organism exposes any alleged antithesis between them as based on inadequate thinking, and perhaps as a product of alienation.  Thus, Evolutionism possibly renders much previous Morality, e. g. not only Kantian, but any that posits an antithesis between Selfishness and Altruism, obsolete.
