The Epistemology of Development, Evolution, and Genetics
ISBN: 9780521836753 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The essays in this collection examine developments in three fundamental biological disciplines--embryology, evolutionary biology, and genetics--in conflict with each other for much of the twentieth century. They consider key methodological problems and the difficulty of overcoming them. Richard Burian interweaves historical appreciation of the settings within which scientists work, substantial knowledge of the biological problems at stake and the methodological and philosophical issues faced in integrating biological knowledge drawn from disparate sources.

Biology and the Foundations of Ethics
ISBN: 9780521559232 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 346 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. There has been much attention devoted in recent years to the question of whether our moral principles can be related to our biological nature. This collection of new essays focuses on the connection between biology and foundational questions in ethics. The book asks such questions as whether humans are innately selfish, and whether there are particular facets of human nature that bear directly on social practices. This is the first book to offer this historical perspective on the relation of biology and ethics, and has been written by some of the leading figures in the history and philosophy...

The Paleobiological Revolution: Essays on the Growth of Modern Paleontology
ISBN: 9780226275710 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 568 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Paleobiological Revolution chronicles the incredible ascendance of the once-maligned science of paleontology to the vanguard of a field. With the establishment of the modern synthesis in the 1940s and the pioneering work of George Gaylord Simpson, Ernst Mayr, and Theodosius Dobzhansky, as well as the subsequent efforts of Stephen Jay Gould, David Raup, and James Valentine, paleontology became embedded in biology and emerged as paleobiology, a first-rate discipline central to evolutionary studies. Pairing contributions from some of the leading actors of the transformation with...

Complexity and the Function of Mind in Nature
ISBN: 9780521646246 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book is a further contribution to the series Cambridge Studies in Philosophy and Biology. It is an ambitious attempt to explain the relationship between intelligence and environmental complexity, and in so doing to link philosophy of mind to more general issues about the relations between organisms and environments, and to the general pattern of "externalist" explanations. This is a highly original philosophical project that will appeal to a broad swath of philosophers, especially those working in the philosophy of biology, philosophy of mind, and epistemology.

Debating Darwin
ISBN: 9780226384429 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Charles Darwin is easily the most famous scientist of the modern age, and his theory of evolution is constantly referenced in many contexts by scientists and nonscientists alike. And yet, despite how frequently his ideas are evoked, there remains a surprising amount we don't know about the father of modern evolutionary thinking, his intellectual roots, and the science he produced. Debating Darwin seeks to change that, bringing together two leading Darwin scholars--Robert J. Richards and Michael Ruse--to engage in a spirited and insightful dialogue, offering their interpretations of...

Information and Meaning in Evolutionary Processes
ISBN: 9780521815147 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. William Harms develops the conceptual foundations and tools for a science of knowledge through the application of evolutionary theory, thus allowing us to acknowledge the legacy of skepticism while denying its relativistic offspring. The most significant legacy of philosophical skepticism is the realization that our concepts, beliefs and theories are social constructs. This belief has led to epistemological relativism, or the thesis that, since there is no ultimate truth about the world, theory preferences are only a matter of opinion.

Darwinian Hedonism and the Epidemic of Unhealthy Behavior
ISBN: 9781107110434 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 374 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book brings a new perspective to psychological hedonism as a fundamental theory of human behavior based on ideas grounded in affective neuroscience and evolutionary biology. The resulting Darwinian hedonism viewpoint is then applied to the growing epidemic of unhealthy behaviour; including poor diet, physical inactivity, and substance use.

The Oxford Handbook of Atheism
ISBN: 9780198745075 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 784 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Recent books by, among others, Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, and Christopher Hitchens have thrust atheism firmly into the popular, media, and academic spotlight. This so-called New Atheism is arguably the most striking development in western socio-religious culture of the past decade or more. As such, it has spurred fertile (and often heated) discussions both within, and between, a diverse range of disciplines. Yet atheism, and the New Atheism, are by no means co-extensive. Interesting though it indeed is, the New Atheism is a single, historically and culturally specific manifestation of...

Biological Complexity and Integrative Pluralism
ISBN: 9780521817530 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This collection of essays by a leading philosopher of science defends integrative pluralism as the best description for today's complexity of scientific inquiry. The tendency of some scientists to reduce all theories to a few fundamental laws of the most basic particles that populate our universe is not appropriate for the biological sciences, which study multi-component, multi-level, evolved complex systems. This book will be of interest to students and professionals in the philosophy of science.

A Philosopher Looks at Human Beings
ISBN: 9781108820431 / Angielski / Miękka / 2021 / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Why do we think ourselves superior to all other animals? Are we right to think so? In this book, Michael Ruse explores these questions in religion, science and philosophy. Some people think that the world is an organism - and that humans, as its highest part, have a natural value (this view appeals particularly to people of religion). Others think that the world is a machine - and that we therefore have responsibility for making our own value judgements (including judgements about ourselves). Ruse provides a compelling analysis of these two rival views and the age-old conflict between them....

The Cambridge Companion to the 'Origin of Species'
ISBN: 9780521870795 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Origin of Species by Charles Darwin is universally recognized as one of the most important science books ever written. Published in 1859, it was here that Darwin argued for both the fact of evolution and the mechanism of natural section. The Origin of Species is also a work of great cultural and religious significance, in that Darwin maintained that all organisms, including humans, are part of a natural process of growth from simple forms. This Companion commemorates the 150th anniversary of the publication of the Origin of Species and examines its main arguments. Drawing on the expertise...
