Sex and Death: An Introduction to Philosophy of Biology
ISBN: 9780226773049 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 456 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Is the history of life a series of accidents or a drama scripted by selfish genes? Is there an "essential" human nature, determined at birth or in a distant evolutionary past? What should we conserve species, ecosystems, or something else?
Informed answers to questions like these, critical to our understanding of ourselves and the world around us, require both a knowledge of biology and a philosophical framework within which to make sense of its findings. In this accessible introduction to philosophy of biology, Kim Sterelny and Paul E. Griffiths present both the science and the...

The Representational Theory of Mind
ISBN: 9780631164982 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book is not a conventional introduction to the philosophy of mind, nor is it a contribution to the physicalist/ dualist debate. Instead The Representational Theory of Mind demonstrates that we can construct physicalist theories of important aspects of our mental life. Its aim is to explain and defend a physicalist theory of intelligence in two parts: the first six chapters consist of an exposition, elaboration and defence of human sentience (the functionalist theory of mind), and the second part considers rivals and objections to this theory.

The Evolved Apprentice: How Evolution Made Humans Unique
ISBN: 9780262526661 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Over the last three million years or so, our lineage has diverged sharply from those of our great ape relatives. Change has been rapid (in evolutionary terms) and pervasive. Morphology, life history, social life, sexual behavior, and foraging patterns have all shifted sharply away from those of the other great apes. In The Evolved Apprentice, Kim Sterelny argues that the divergence stems from the fact that humans gradually came to enrich the learning environment of the next generation. Humans came to cooperate in sharing information, and to cooperate ecologically and reproductively...

What Is Biodiversity?
ISBN: 9780226500812 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In the life sciences, there is wide-ranging debate about biodiversity. While nearly everyone is in favor of biodiversity and its conservation, methods for its assessment vary enormously. So what exactly is biodiversity? Most theoretical work on the subject assumes it has something to do with species richness with the number of species in a particular region but in reality, it is much more than that. Arguing that we cannot make rational decisions about what it is to be protected without knowing what biodiversity is, James Maclaurin and Kim Sterelny offer in "What Is Biodiversity?" a...
