Philosophy of Biology
ISBN: 9780813391267 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 255 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Perhaps because of it implications for our understanding of human nature, recent philosophy of biology has seen what might be the most dramatic work in the philosophies of the special sciences. This drama has centered on evolutionary theory, and in the second edition of this textbook, Elliott Sober introduces the reader to the most important issues of these developments. With a rare combination of technical sophistication and clarity of expression, Sober engages both the higher level of theory and the direct implications for such controversial issues as creationism, teleology, nature versus...

Evidence and Evolution
ISBN: 9780521692748 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 414 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. How should the concept of evidence be understood? And how does the concept of evidence apply to the controversy about creationism as well as to work in evolutionary biology about natural selection and common ancestry? In this rich and wide-ranging book, Elliott Sober investigates general questions about probability and evidence and shows how the answers he develops to those questions apply to the specifics of evolutionary biology. Drawing on a set of fascinating examples, he analyzes whether claims about intelligent design are untestable; whether they are discredited by the fact that many...

From a Biological Point of View: Essays in Evolutionary Philosophy
ISBN: 9780521477536 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This new collection of essays will appeal to a readership that extends well beyond the frontiers of the philosophy of science. Sober shows how ideas in evolutionary biology bear in significant ways on traditional problems in philosophy of mind and language, epistemology, and metaphysics. Among the topics addressed are psychological egoism, solipsism, and the interpretation of belief and utterance, empiricism, Ockham's razor, causality, essentialism, and scientific laws.

Ockham's Razors: A User's Manual
ISBN: 9781107692534 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 322 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Ockham's razor, the principle of parsimony, states that simpler theories are better than theories that are more complex. It has a history dating back to Aristotle and it plays an important role in current physics, biology, and psychology. The razor also gets used outside of science - in everyday life and in philosophy. This book evaluates the principle and discusses its many applications. Fascinating examples from different domains provide a rich basis for contemplating the principle's promises and perils. It is obvious that simpler theories are beautiful and easy to understand; the hard...

Unto Others: The Evolution and Psychology of Unselfish Behavior (Revised)
ISBN: 9780674930476 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. No matter what we do, however kind or generous our deeds may seem, a hidden motive of selfishness lurks--or so science has claimed for years. This book, whose publication promises to be a major scientific event, tells us differently. In Unto Others philosopher Elliott Sober and biologist David Sloan Wilson demonstrate once and for all that unselfish behavior is in fact an important feature of both biological and human nature. Their book provides a panoramic view of altruism throughout the animal kingdom--from self-sacrificing parasites to insects that subsume themselves in the...

"The Nature of Selection" is a straightforward, self-contained introduction to philosophical and biological problems in evolutionary theory.

ISBN: 9780262691444 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Reconstructing the Past seeks to clarify and help resolve the vexing methodological issues that arise when biologists try to answer such questions as whether human beings are more closely related to chimps than they are to gorillas. It explores the case for considering the philosophical idea of simplicity/parsimony as a useful principle for evaluating taxonomic theories of evolutionary relationships.For the past two decades, evolutionists have been vigorously debating the appropriate methods that should be used in systematics, the field that aims at reconstructing phylogenetic...

Adaptationism and Optimality
ISBN: 9780521591669 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 420 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The theory of adaptationism argues that natural selection contains sufficient explanatory power in itself to account for all evolution. However, there are differing views about the efficiency, or optimality, of the adaptation model of explanation. If the adaptationism theory is applied, are energy and resources being used as optimally as possible? Adaptationism and Optimality combines contributions from biologists and philosophers, and offers a systematic treatment of foundational, conceptual, and methodological issues surrounding the theory of adaptationism.
