" Darwinism Evolving examines the Darwinian research tradition in evolutionary biology from its inception to its turbulent present, arguing that recent advances in modeling the nonlinear dynamics of complex systems may well catalyze the next major phase of Darwinian evolutionism.While Darwinism has successfully resisted reduction to physics, the authors point ..."
"The 10 original essays in Evolution at a Crossroads explore "post-Kuhnian" approaches to conceptual problems in contemporary evolutionary and developmental theory. They focus in particular on the effect that current, rapid developments in molecular biology are having on our understanding of evolution and philosophy of science.Philosophy of science has swung widely between the dogmas of logical empiricism and relativism.

"The role of genetic inheritance dominates current evolutionary theory. At the end of the nineteenth century, however, several evolutionary theorists independently speculated that learned behaviors could also affect the direction and rate of evolutionary change. This notion was called the Baldwin effect, after the psychologist James Mark Baldwin. In recent years, philosopher ..."
Darwinism Evolving(1st Edition) Systems Dynamics and the Genealogy of Natural Selection by DavidJ. Depew, Bruce H. Weber Hardcover, 608 Pages, Published 1994 by The Mit Press ISBN-13: 978-0-262-04145-4, ISBN: 0-262-04145-6
"This work examines the Darwinian research tradition in evolutionary biology from its inception to its turbulent present, arguing that recent advances in modelling the nonlinear dynamics of complex systems may well catalyze the next major phase of Darwinian evolutionism. While Darwinism has successfully resisted reduction to physics, the authors point out that it has from the outset developed and applied its core explanatory concept, nat ..."

"Can recent developments in thermodynamics and information theory offer a way out of the current crisis in evolutionary theory? One of the most exciting and controversial areas of scientific research in recent years has been the application of the principles of nonequilibrium thermodynamics to the problems of the physical evolution of the universe, the origins of life, the s ..."

"American pragmatism can be best understood against the background of 20th-century American culture and politics. The essays in this volume, by philosophers, cultural critics, and historians, explore the development of pragmatism in this context. The emphasis in this volume is on the interrelations between the philosophical or foundational issues raised by pragmatism as a philosophical movement, and the cultural, political, and education ..."
Darwinism, Democracy, and Race(1st Edition) American Anthropology and Evolutionary Biology in the Twentieth Century (History and Philosophy of Biology) by John P. Jackson, DavidJ. Depew Hardcover, 252 Pages, Published 2017 by Routledge ISBN-13: 978-1-138-62817-5, ISBN: 1-138-62817-4
"Darwinism, Democracy, and Race examines the development and defence of an argument that arose at the boundary between anthropology and evolutionary biology in twentieth-century America. In its fully articulated form, this argument simultaneously discredited scientific racism and defended free human agency in Darwinian terms. The volume is timely because it gives readers a key to assessing contemporary debates about the biology of race. ..."
"This translation of Carlo Michelstaedter s "Persuasion and Rhetoric" brings the powerful and original work of a seminal cultural figure to English-language readers for the first time. Ostensibly a commentary on Plato s and Aristotle s relation to the pre-Socratic philosophers, Michelstaedter s deeply personal book is an extraordinary rhetorical feat that reflects the author s struggle to make sense of modern life. This edition includes ..."
