Book excerpt: Charles Darwin es, sin dudas, el arquitecto de la moderna biología evolutiva. Pero El origen de las especies es mucho más que una teoría biológica: es un conjunto de principios que comportan un tremendo impacto filosófico más allá de los límites de la ciencia natural. Y, dado que las hipótesis de Darwin involucran a la humanidad, se hace necesario examinar minuciosamente sus implicaciones éticas y epistemológicas. Michael Ruse, autoridad mundialmente reconocida en la historia y en la filosofía del darwinismo, ofrece en esta obra el análisis definitivo de la naturaleza filosófica del pensamiento de Darwin, y de su impacto no solamente sobre las ciencias naturales sino también sobre las ciencias humanas. Con un lenguaje claro, desprovisto de tecnicismos, Ruse establece con precisión el estatuto del pensamiento evolucionista como una teoría genuina, las implicaciones filosóficas, epistemológicas y éticas del darwinismo, así como su impacto en las modernas explicaciones naturalistas de la religión, y discute muchos de los sentimientos y supuestos antidarwinistas expuestos por los creyentes del movimiento creacionista.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduzione di Pietro Omodeo Traduzione di Celso Balducci Edizione integrale L’idea che gli esseri viventi abbiano trovato origine in forme elementari primordiali, dalle quali si sarebbero poi sviluppate per gradi le specie attuali, si ritrova, variamente abbozzata, nella storia del pensiero dai Greci in poi: ma solo con Charles Darwin questa intuizione raggiunge una struttura sistematica e una fisionomia definita. Sulla base di un numero imponente di dati, osservazioni, raffronti sulla flora e la fauna di differenti latitudini, il giovane naturalista inglese giunse a conclusioni sconvolgenti e rivoluzionarie circa l’origine della vita, che ancora oggi suscitano dibattiti e controversie. La pubblicazione, nel 1859, dei risultati delle sue ricerche procurò a Darwin la notorietà, la gloria e il biasimo a un tempo. Con quest’opera rigorosa e straordinaria, Darwin scardinava la tradizione biblica della creazione del mondo, introducendo il concetto di una lenta evoluzione delle specie animali e vegetali che nel corso del tempo si sono profondamente diversificate dai loro antenati. «Quando osserviamo gli individui di una stessa varietà o sottovarietà di vegetali coltivati o di animali allevati dall’uomo fin dai tempi più remoti, la prima cosa che ci colpisce è che essi differiscano tra di loro molto più degli individui appartenenti a qualsiasi specie o varietà allo stato naturale.» Charles Darwin nacque nel 1809 a Shrewsbury da una famiglia legata per tradizione professionale alle scienze naturali. Studiò medicina a Edimburgo e teologia a Cambridge, finché nel 1831, superando le resistenze del padre, riuscì a imbarcarsi come naturalista a bordo del Beagle per un viaggio durato cinque anni che costituì l’avvenimento più importante della sua formazione. Nel 1838 la lettura del Saggio sui principi della popolazione di Malthus gli fornì l’idea per quella teoria della «selezione naturale» che tanto peso avrebbe avuto sul pensiero scientifico e filosofico. Morì nel 1882. La Newton Compton ha pubblicato L'origine delle specie, L’origine dell’uomo e la selezione sessuale; L’espressione delle emozioni nell’uomo e negli animali; Viaggio di un naturalista intorno al mondo e il volume unico L’origine delle specie, L’origine dell’uomo e altri scritti sull’evoluzione.

Download or read book The Work of Art written by Gérard Genette and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What art is--its very nature--is the subject of this book by one of the most distinguished continental theorists writing today. Informed by the aesthetics of Nelson Goodman and referring to a wide range of cultures, contexts, and media, The Work of Art seeks to discover, explain, and define how art exists and how it works. To this end, Gérard Genette explores the distinction between a work of art's immanence--its physical presence--and transcendence--the experience it induces. That experience may go far beyond the object itself.Genette situates art within the broad realm of human practices, extending from the fine arts of music, painting, sculpture, and literature to humbler but no less fertile fields such as haute couture and the culinary arts. His discussion touches on a rich array of examples and is bolstered by an extensive knowledge of the technology involved in producing and disseminating a work of art, regardless of whether that dissemination is by performance, reproduction, printing, or recording. Moving beyond examples, Genette proposes schemata for thinking about the different manifestations of a work of art. He also addresses the question of the artwork's duration and mutability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why did science emerge in the West and how did scientific values come to be regarded as the yardstick for all other forms of knowledge? Stephen Gaukroger shows just how bitterly the cognitive and cultural standing of science was contested in its early development. Rejecting the traditional picture of secularization, he argues that science in the seventeenth century emerged not in opposition to religion but rather was in many respects driven by it. Moreover, science did not present a unified picture of nature but was an unstable field of different, often locally successful but just as often incompatible, programmes. To complicate matters, much depended on attempts to reshape the persona of the natural philosopher, and distinctive new notions of objectivity and impartiality were imported into natural philosophy, changing its character radically by redefining the qualities of its practitioners. The West's sense of itself, its relation to its past, and its sense of its future, have been profoundly altered since the seventeenth century, as cognitive values generally have gradually come to be shaped around scientific ones. Science has not merely brought a new set of such values to the task of understanding the world and our place in it, but rather has completely transformed the task, redefining the goals of enquiry. This distinctive feature of the development of a scientific culture in the West marks it out from other scientifically productive cultures. In The Emergence of a Scientific Culture, Stephen Gaukroger offers a detailed and comprehensive account of the formative stages of this development—-and one which challenges the received wisdom that science was seen to be self-evidently the correct path to knowledge and that the benefits of science were immediately obvious to the disinterested observer.

Download or read book The Post Darwinian Controversies written by James R. Moore and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1981-10-30 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Post-Darwinian Controversies offers an original interpretation of Protestant responses to Darwin after 1870, viewing them in a transatlantic perspective and as a constitutive part of the history of post-Darwinian evolutionary thought. The impact of evolutionary theory on the religious consciousness of the nineteenth century has commonly been seen in terms of a 'conflict' or 'warfare' between science and theology. Dr. Moore's account begins by discussing the polemical origins and baneful effects of the 'military metaphor', and this leads to a revised view of the controversies based on an analysis of the underlying intellectual struggle to come to terms with Darwin. The middle section of the book distinguishes the 'Darwinism' of Darwin himself amid the main currents of post-Darwinian evolutionary thought, and is followed by chapters which examine the responses to Darwin of twenty-eight Christian controversialists, tracing the philosophical and theological lineage of their views. The paradox that emerges - that Darwin's theory was accepted in substance only by those whose theology was distinctly orthodox theology and of other evolutionary theories with liberal and romantic theological speculation.
