This book was released on 2013-05-02 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second international Chromatiques whiteheadiennes conference was devoted exclusively to the exegesis and contextualization of Whitehead's Science and the Modern World (1925). In order to elucidate the meaning and significance of this epoch-making work, the Proceedings are designed to form "companion" volume. With one paper devoted to each of its thirteen chapters, the Proceedings aim, on the one hand, to identify the specific contribution of each chapter to Whitehead's own research program - that is to say, to put its categories into perspective by means of an internal analysis- and, on the other hand, to identify its global impact in the history of ideas.

This book was released on 2023-04-12 with total page 903 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lorsque nous essayons de nous comprendre et de comprendre le monde dans lequel nous vivons, nous nous tournons souvent d'abord vers la science - et ensuite, s'il reste des lacunes dans notre comprehension, nous essayons de les combler en nous referant a Dieu et a notre foi. Cette approche, que nous appelons "le dieu des lacunes", a une longue histoire et, malheureusement, elle est encore bien vivante aujourd'hui. Ce livre a ete ecrit pour offrir une approche alternative en posant cette question fondamentale : comment les chretiens ayant recu une education formelle peuvent-ils maintenir leur honnetete intellectuelle et en meme temps etre fideles a la fois a l'Ecriture et a la science ? Ce livre donne des exemples de quelques-uns des problemes les plus epineux qui se posent aujourd'hui dans le domaine de la science et de la foi, et propose des moyens de reflechir de maniere constructive a chacun d'entre eux. Malcolm A. Jeeves est professeur emerite de psychologie a l'universite de St Andrews, en Ecosse, ancien president de la Societe royale d'Edimbourg et de l'Academie nationale d'Ecosse, et membre de l'Academie des sciences medicales et de la Societe britannique de psychologie. Pionnier de la psychologie cognitive, de la neuropsychologie et de la psychologie evolutionniste, il est l'auteur de nombreux ouvrages sur la science et la foi.
Download or read book Social Structures and Natural Systems written by Georges Guille-Escuret and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-02-06 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trapped between the caricatured causalities of biological determinism and the sinister abdications of sociological relativism, socio-ecological interdisciplinarity stagnates. It has lost sight of the ambition of a long-term program and no longer works to conduct applied research on the concrete prerequisites for reliable cooperation, despite an accumulation of emergencies. The difficulty lies in the general and prolonged abandonment of necessary procedures under the influence of hidden philosophical presumptions. In the end, ecology, sociology, history, economics, agronomy, etc. are seriously handicapped by the absence of a common epistemology of comparative practice, an absence maintained by the dominant epistemology itself. Social Structures and Natural Systems seeks to demonstrate, with regard to social anthropology and ecology, a scientific compatibility of research subject to methodological requirements that are deductible from the conditions of the existence of science itself. All of this boils down to one observation: this book will be a success if, and only if, it becomes a beginning.

Download or read book Picturing Evolution and Extinction written by Fae Brauer and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2015-10-05 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the increasing loss of biological diversity in this Sixth Age of Mass Extinction, it is timely to show that devolutionary paranoia is not new, but rather stretches back to the time of Charles Darwin. It is also an opportune moment to show how human-driven extinction, as designated by the term, Anthropocene, has long been acknowledged. The halcyon days of European industrial progress, colonial expansion and scientific revolution trumpeted from the Great Exhibition of 1851 until the Dresden International Hygiene Exhibition of 1930 were constantly marred by fears of rampant degeneration, depopulation, national decline, environmental devastation and racial extinction. This is demonstrated by the discourses of catastrophism charted in this book that percolated across Europe in response to the theories of Darwin and Jean Baptiste Lamarck, as well as Marcellin Berthelot, Camille Flammarion, Ernst Haeckel, Louis Landouzy, Félix Le Dantec, Cesare Lombroso, Thomas Huxley, Bénédite-Augustin Morel, Louis Pasteur, Élisée Reclus, Rudolf Steiner and Wilhelm Wundt, among others. This book presents pioneering explorations of the interrelationship between these discourses and modern visual cultures and the ways in which the “picturing of evolution and extinction” by artists as diverse as Roger Broders, Albert Besnard, Fernand Cormon, Hélène Dufau, Émile Gallé, František Kupka, Pablo Picasso, Carles Mani y Roig, Sophie Taeuber and Vasilii Vatagin betrayed anxieties subliminally festering over degeneration alongside latent hopes of regeneration. Following Darwin’s concept of evolution as Janus-faced, the dialectical interplay of evolution and extinction and degeneration and regeneration is explored in modern visual cultures in Australia, America, Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Spain and Switzerland at significant spatio-temporal junctures between 1860 and 1930. By unravelling the “picturing” of the dread of alcoholism, cholera, dysentery, tuberculosis, typhoid and rabies, alongside phobias of animalism, criminality, hysteria, impotency and ecological disaster, each chapter makes an original contribution to this new field of scholarship. By locating these discourses and visual cultures within the “golden age of Neo-Lamarckism”, they also reveal how regeneration was pictured as the Janus-face of degeneration able to facilitate evolution through the inheritance of beneficial characteristics in propitious environments. In striking such an uplifting note amidst the dissonant cacophony of catastrophism, this book reveals why the art and science of Transformism proved so appealing in France as elsewhere, and why visual cultures of regeneration became as dominant in the twentieth century as the picturing of degeneration had been in the nineteenth century. It also illuminates the paradoxical inversion that occurred in the twentieth century when devolution became equivalent to evolution for many Modernists. Hence, whilst this book opens with the picturing of indigenous people in Australia and North America as “doomed races” by the first publication of Darwin’s On The Origin of Species, it closes with the quest by 1930 for a regenerative suntan as dark as the skin of those indigenous people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lhomme qui nie lexistence dun Dieu-Crateur de toutes choses ne risque-t-il pas de se prendre pour Dieu ? Les crits sur lathisme sont lgion, font recette aujourdhui ! Question : comment reconnatre le bon grain de livraie ? Lintrt de ce Contre-chant lathisme de Richard Dawkins rside dabord dans sa conception, son approche, son style; il se trouve ensuite tre rvlateur et savamment clairant. Son auteur, Gilles Charles Vuille, na pas cherch, comme Richard Dawkins, transmettre sa pense personnelle, mais tout son contraire : on ressent, en effet, cette proccupation distiller, au fil des pages, des paroles fortes manant dune multitude dhommes et de femmes notoires, ayant fait lexprience de lAmour de Dieu. Cette recherche minutieuse, travers les millnaires, amne progressivement vider de sa substance les thses sur lathisme. Voil une lecture qui pourrait bien nous mener la Lumire ! Luc Claessens
