Recenzje

The heart of Bradley's project-and of his interpretation of Darwin-is a refocus away from natural selection and toward the evolutionary agency of individual organisms...and his delineation of the lessons we can draw from understanding Darwin's theory and practice of psychology, are innovative, insightful, and persuasive.

O autorze

Ben Bradley was educated at Oxford and Edinburgh, where, with Colwyn Trevarthen, he began his pioneering research on infancy. He later migrated to Australia, where he was appointed Foundation Professor of Psychology at Charles Sturt University in 1998-and where he is now Professor Emeritus. He wrote the widely-translated Visions of Infancy (1989), and Psychology and Experience (2005). Amongst many research highlights are studies: with Jane Selby and Michael Smithson, proving young infants can participate in social groups; and, on the literary structure of Darwin's On the Origin of Species (1859). His film Darwin's Babies, received its world premiere at Darwin 2009: A Celebration of the bicentenary of Darwin's Birth in Cambridge, UK
