{"product_id":"philosophy-after-darwin-classic-and-contemporary-readings-9780691135540","title":"Philosophy After Darwin: Classic and Contemporary Readings","description":"\u003cp\u003eWittgenstein famously remarked in 1923, Darwin's theory has no more relevance for philosophy than any other hypothesis in natural science. Yet today we are witnessing a major revival of interest in applying evolutionary approaches to philosophical problems. \u003ci\u003ePhilosophy after Darwin\u003c\/i\u003e is an anthology of essential writings covering the most influential ideas about the philosophical implications of Darwinism, from the publication of \u003ci\u003eOn the Origin of Species\u003c\/i\u003e to today's cutting-edge research. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMichael Ruse presents writings by leading modern thinkers and researchers--including some writings never before published--together with the most important historical documents on Darwinism and philosophy, starting with Darwin himself. Included here are Herbert Spencer, Friedrich Nietzsche, Thomas Henry Huxley, G. E. Moore, John Dewey, Konrad Lorenz, Stephen Toulmin, Karl Popper, Edward O. Wilson, Hilary Putnam, Philip Kitcher, Elliott Sober, and Peter Singer. Readers will encounter some of the staunchest critics of the evolutionary approach, such as Alvin Plantinga, as well as revealing excerpts from works like Jack London's \u003ci\u003eThe Call of the Wild\u003c\/i\u003e. Ruse's comprehensive general introduction and insightful section introductions put these writings in context and explain how they relate to such fields as epistemology, philosophy of mind, philosophy of language, and ethics. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn invaluable anthology and sourcebook, \u003ci\u003ePhilosophy after Darwin\u003c\/i\u003e traces philosophy's complicated relationship with Darwin's dangerous idea, and shows how this relationship reflects a broad movement toward a secular, more naturalistic understanding of the human experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Ruse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/13\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 592\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 6.90w x 1.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691135540\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Ruse\u003c\/b\u003e is the Lucyle T.
