Opis

"Kronfelder carefully details all the arguments for memetics over a range of disciplines where different formulations are given, designed to solve problems and meet criticisms. Her detailed conceptual analyses expose their ambiguities and incoherencies and systematically demolish them all." - Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews An examination of how Darwinism has been used to explain novelty and change in culture.
