Download or read book After Darwin written by Devin Griffiths and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-12-15 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creative storytelling is the beating heart of Darwin's science. All of Darwin's writings drew on information gleaned from a worldwide network of scientific research and correspondence, but they hinge on moments in which Darwin asks his reader to imagine how specific patterns came to be over time, spinning yarns filled with protagonists and antagonists, crises, triumphs, and tragedies. His fictions also forged striking new possibilities for the interpretation of human societies and their relation to natural environments. This volume gathers an international roster of scholars to ask what Darwin's writing offers future of literary scholarship and critical theory, as well as allied fields like history, art history, philosophy, gender studies, disability studies, the history of race, aesthetics, and ethics. It speaks to anyone interested in the impact of Darwin on the humanities, including literary scholars, undergraduate and graduate students, and general readers interested in Darwin's continuing influence.

Book Synopsis Animal Fables after Darwin by : Chris Danta
Download or read book Animal Fables after Darwin written by Chris Danta and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-31 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ancient form of the animal fable, in which the characteristics of humans and animals are playfully and educationally intertwined, took on a wholly new meaning after Darwin's theory of evolution changed forever the relationship between humans and animals. In this original study, Chris Danta provides an important and original account of how the fable was adopted and re-adapted by nineteenth- and twentieth-century authors to challenge traditional views of species hierarchy. The rise of the biological sciences in the second half of the nineteenth century provided literary writers such as Robert Louis Stevenson, H. G. Wells, Franz Kafka, Angela Carter and J. M. Coetzee with new material for the fable. By interrogating the form of the fable, and through it the idea of human exceptionalism, writers asked new questions about the place of the human in relation to its biological milieu.

Book Synopsis Philosophy after Darwin by : Michael Ruse
Download or read book Philosophy after Darwin written by Michael Ruse and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-06-08 with total page 593 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wittgenstein 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. Philosophy after Darwin is an anthology of essential writings covering the most influential ideas about the philosophical implications of Darwinism, from the publication of On the Origin of Species to today's cutting-edge research. Michael 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 The Call of the Wild. 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. An invaluable anthology and sourcebook, Philosophy after Darwin 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.

Download or read book The Evolution of Literature written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Daniel Dennett famously claimed for Darwinian theory the status of universal solvent: the totalising theory of theories, even of theories of literature. Yet only a few writers and critics have followed his view. This volume asks why. It examines both evolution in literature, and the evolution of literature. It looks at literary representations of Darwinism both historically and synchronically, at how a theory of literature might be derived from evolutionary theory, and indeed how evolution as a process might be regarded as itself aesthetic. It complements these theoretical and historical dimensions of enquiry with the comparative dimension. It asks in short: What have been the representations of Darwinian evolutionary theory in literature since the late nineteenth century? What are the leading paradigms in theory and in literature for renovating the evolutionary model? What were, and are, the differences in British, French, German paradigms of literary Darwinian reception? How, if at all, did Darwinian modes of thought hybridise across national borders? Last, but not least: What is the future of the Darwinian mode?

Book Synopsis After Darwin by : Timberlake Wertenbaker
Download or read book After Darwin written by Timberlake Wertenbaker and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2015-01-29 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millie, a director, discusses with her actors, Ian and Tom, how to interpret two famous historical figures from the nineteenth century. It's 1831. The naturalist Charles Darwin is invited to travel with Robert Fitzroy into uncharted waters off the coast of South America aboard 'The Beagle'. Their five year journey is fraught with philosophical and personal tensions. Fitzroy, a staunch Christian, has faith in the unquestionable authority of the Bible; Darwin begins to explore a more radical vision, his theory of natural selection. A meditation on history and human relationships, After Darwin links past and present through these five characters, and raises timeless questions about faith, friendship and how we interpret the past. After Darwin was first performed in July 1998, at Hampstead Theatre, London.

Book Synopsis Darwin and After Darwin by : George John Romanes
Download or read book Darwin and After Darwin written by George John Romanes and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-24 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Darwin and After Darwin by George John Romanes is considered to be one of the best pieces of work on the Darwinian theory of evolution. The book is spread across ten chapters which logically pans out the entire discourse on Darwinism. With dedicated portions on morphology, embryology and palaeontology among other strands, this is perhaps the perfect primer on Darwinian thought. Romanes expertly postulates the existing evidence for Darwinian Theory and focuses not just on natural and sexual selection but also dedicates an entire section to the criticism it received as well, so that the reader is not left with a lopsided view. Towards the end linkages are drawn to the relationship Darwinian thought has on the fundamentals of religion as well. Darwin and After Darwin is endowed with many illustrations to make descriptions and concepts as clear and concise as possible, with a list in the beginning for easy access to specific segments. Romanes holds his own in refuting some of the more serious criticisms faced by Darwinian Theory. In that sense Darwin and After Darwin is not just a compilation of material but a scholarly attempt to expound various concepts in crisp, clear language. As Romanes himself claims, this is a perfect read for the layman as well as scholars of the subject because he has ensured that not a single portion of this work assumes any existing knowledge of the reader on the topic.
