The connection is a bustling two-way street. In one direction, philosophers of biology make significant contributions to theoretical discussions about the nature of evolution (such as \"What is a species?\"; \"What is reproductive fitness?\"; \"Does selection operate primarily on genes?\"; and \"What is an evolutionary function?\"). In the other direction, a broader group of philosophers appeal to Darwinian selection in an attempt to illuminate traditional philosophical puzzles (such as \"How could a brain-state have representational content?\"; \"Are moral judgments justified?\"; \"Why do we enjoy fiction?\"; and \"Are humans invariably selfish?\"). In grappling with these questions, this interdisciplinary collection includes cutting-edge examples from both directions of traffic. The thirty contributions, written exclusively for this volume, are divided into six sections: The Nature of Selection; Evolution and Information; Human Nature; Evolution and Mind; Evolution and Ethics; and Evolution, Aesthetics, and Art. Many of the contributing philosophers and psychologists are international leaders in their fields.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Joyce\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138789550\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138789555\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 7.00w x 1.20d","brand":"Richard Joyce","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48659253362943,"sku":"9781138789555","price":325.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-routledge-handbook-of-evolution-richard-joyce-9781138789555","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
