Monad to Man: The Concept of Progress in Evolutionary Biology
ISBN: 9780674032484 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 648 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The idea of evolution: it fascinates some of us, disturbs others, and leaves only a very few people indifferent. In a major new interpretation of evolutionary theory, Michael Ruse pinpoints the common source of this attraction and discomfort. A renowned writer on evolutionary theory and its history, Ruse has long been sensitive to the fact that many people--and not simply religious enthusiasts--find something deeply troubling about much of what passes for science in evolutionary circles. What causes this tension, he finds in his search of evolutionism's 250-year history, is the intimate...

Darwin and Design: Does Evolution Have a Purpose?
ISBN: 9780674016316 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The intricate forms of living things bespeak design, and thus a creator: nearly 150 years after Darwin's theory of natural selection called this argument into question, we still speak of life in terms of design--the function of the eye, the purpose of the webbed foot, the design of the fins. Why is the "argument from design" so tenacious, and does Darwinism--itself still evolving after all these years--necessarily undo it? The definitive work on these contentious questions, Darwin and Design surveys the argument from design from its introduction by the Greeks, through the...

Science and Spirituality: Making Room for Faith in the Age of Science
ISBN: 9781107681811 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 269 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In Science and Spirituality: Making Room for Faith in the Age of Science, Michael Ruse offers a new analysis of the often troubled relationship between science and religion. Arguing against both extremes in one corner, the New Atheists; in the other, the Creationists and their offspring the Intelligent Designers he asserts that science is undoubtedly the highest and most fruitful source of human inquiry. Yet, by its very nature and its deep reliance on metaphor, science restricts itself and is unable to answer basic, significant, and potent questions about the meaning of the universe and...

The Gaia Hypothesis: Science on a Pagan Planet
ISBN: 9780226731704 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In 1965 English scientist James Lovelock had a flash of insight: the Earth is not just teeming with life; the Earth, in some sense, is life. He mulled this revolutionary idea over for several years, first with his close friend the novelist William Golding, and then in an extensive collaboration with the American scientist Lynn Margulis. In the early 1970s, he finally went public with the Gaia hypothesis, the idea that everything happens for an end: the good of planet Earth. Lovelock and Margulis were scorned by professional scientists, but the general public enthusiastically embraced...

The Oxford Handbook of Atheism
ISBN: 9780199644650 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 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...

Darwinian Heresies
ISBN: 9780521172684 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Including some of today's leading historians and philosophers of science, this collection demonstrates that not all is precisely as it is too often assumed. Thus, the contributors to this volume suggest that Darwin's true roots lie in Germany, not his native England, that Russian evolutionism is more significant than many are prepared to allow, and that the true influence on twentieth century evolutionary biology was not Charles Darwin at all, but his often-despised contemporary, Herbert Spencer.

The Evolution of Agency and Other Essays
ISBN: 9780521642316 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book presents a collection of linked essays written by one of the leading philosophers of biology, Kim Sterelny, on the topic of biological evolution. The first half of the book explores most of the main theoretical controversies about evolution and selection, while the second half applies some of these ideas in considering cognitive evolution. These essays, some never before published, form a coherent whole that defends not just an overall conception of evolution, but also a distinctive take on cognitive evolution.

The Epistemology of Development, Evolution, and Genetics
ISBN: 9780521545280 / Angielski / Miękka / 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.

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...

This is a groundbreaking and timely collection of papers by Alexander Rosenberg, the distinguished philosopher of science.
