Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Grand Strategy of Evolution: The Social Philosophy of a Biologist Strange as it may seem, it was but yesterday that these eager sentinels of the human flock were gravely debating whether or no peace is more profitable than war, and whether peace or war is the "natural state" of man. The question so sharply formulated is both pertinent and logical, for it covers the whole philosophy of life. It covers, indeed, the whole philosophy of evolution and the creative conduct of Nature. There is no other alternative. A convincing answer, either way, will profoundly influence every phase of human life the world over, for as intelligence dictates the strategy by which it may conquer, so, in the long run, will the body act. But to satisfy the intelligence, the answer must harmonize with natural laws, for the grand strategy of man cannot be different from the grand strategy of nature. Evidently the problem lies within the domain of the biologist. He who is persuaded that "warfare" is nature's method of evolution, that war is the "natural state" of man and more profitable than peace, will say in his heart: If war is profitable, then war is good; it is "right" for man to make war, and so by all means, let us have war; nation against nation, race against race, brother against brother. Every man for himself and every interest for itself; the secret or declared enemy of every other interest and every other man. Present obstacles alone shall postpone the attempt of each to master or destroy the other. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1874 edition. Excerpt: ...growth in different races and communities, independently of rational or imaginary theories. CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITIES. Constitutional authorities and responsibilities are necessary in all degrees of society (domestic, municipal, professional, national, international, and universal). By constitutional we mean limited, elective, selective, and responsible authorities, in contrast with infallible and irresponsible popes, emperors, high-priests, kings, protectors, and dictators. Man and woman elect each other to become man and wife; heads of a family, with authority to generate children, educate, and protect them from evil, and also with power to engage servants and administer the household. This is a miniature type of all communities. The inhabitants of a parish or a township elect a council of aldermen and a mayor, with authority to generate or formulate laws and regulations for the government of the district, engage municipal officers, administer the affairs of the parish, and control subordinate agencies. Public companies elect boards of directors to manage the business and control officers and agents. Professional corporations, military, legal, clerical, &c, are controlled by responsible ministers of state, for the departments of justice and peace, war and diplomacy, public instruction and religion, financial and other branches of administration. Professions are governed by responsible authorities wherever they are under discipline and regulative laws of order. National authorities in constitutional monarchies or republics, with hereditary monarchs or elective presidents, are controlled by representatives of the people in Parliament, who choose and control ministers of state for all departments of the public service. Selected or elected...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Kidd's "Social Evolution" This, of course, does not mean that we are not to derive all the help we can from the study Of the lower stages in the develop ment of that which we are trying to interpret. It does not mean that we are not to get what light we can by tracing the historic growth of the moral sentiments; nor that there is nothing to learn in seeking the genesis of the idea of God. It does not mean that the study of comparative anatomy is unessential to a knowledge of the human body. It does not mean that a knowledge of the process will not help us to an understanding of the product. It only means that antecedence is not identical with causality, and that similarity is not identity. It means that, having traced g back to f, and f to e, and so on back to a, the origin, we are then to find the key to the process, not in the starting-point, but in the whole process as seen from the end to the beginning. In other words, the true nature of anything can be known, not from the S5 of), but from the ré/log. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From mitochondria to meerkats, the natural world is full of spectacular examples of social behaviour. In the early 1960s Bill Hamilton changed the way we think about how such behaviour evolves. He introduced three key innovations - now known as Hamilton's rule, kin selection, and inclusive fitness - which have been enormously influential, but which remain the subject of fierce controversy. Hamilton's pioneering work kick-started a research program now known as social evolution theory. This is a book about the philosophical foundations and future prospects of that program. Part I, "Foundations", is a careful exposition and defence of Hamilton's ideas, with a few modifications along the way. In Part II, "Extensions", Jonathan Birch shows how these ideas can be applied to phenomena including cooperation in micro-organisms, cooperation among the cells of a multicellular organism, and culturally evolved cooperation in the earliest human societies. Birch argues that real progress can be made in understanding microbial evolution, evolutionary transitions, and human evolution by viewing them through the lens of social evolution theory, provided the theory is interpreted with care and adapted where necessary. The Philosophy of Social Evolution places social evolution theory on a firm philosophical footing and sets out exciting new directions for further work.

Book excerpt: "This book puts the study of social and cultural history and social change and cultural evolution on a scientific basis capable of rational analysis and understanding. It shows how social and cultural change happens and explains the sequence of events in social and cultural history. The book shows how social and cultural history followed a necessary path that can be analysed and rationally understood and explained. Most books on history just give a narrative describing how one thing followed another. This book describes why one thing followed another. This involves going into areas where historians do not usually go, for example into areas of science such as the chemical structure of rocks and the melting and smelting points of metal and ores. The book investigates the effect the laws of physics, chemistry and biology, the genetics of living matter and the properties of particles, elements, compounds and mixtures making up the material of the universe has on human social and cultural history."--Back cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An important contribution . . . invaluable to anyone interested in the history of pragmatism and the influence of biology and evolution on pragmatic thinkers.” —Richard J. Bernstein, The New School for Social Research, author of The Pragmatic Turn In Pragmatism’s Evolution, Trevor Pearce demonstrates that the philosophical tradition of pragmatism owes an enormous debt to specific biological debates in the late 1800s, especially those concerning the role of the environment in development and evolution. Many are familiar with John Dewey’s 1909 assertion that evolutionary ideas overturned two thousand years of philosophy—but what exactly happened in the fifty years prior to Dewey’s claim? What form did evolutionary ideas take? When and how were they received by American philosophers? Although the various thinkers associated with pragmatism—from Charles Sanders Peirce to Jane Addams and beyond—were towering figures in American intellectual life, few realize the full extent of their engagement with the life sciences. In his analysis, Pearce focuses on a series of debates in biology from 1860 to 1910—from the instincts of honeybees to the inheritance of acquired characteristics—in which the pragmatists were active participants. If we want to understand the pragmatists and their influence, Pearce argues, we need to understand the relationship between pragmatism and biology. “Pragmatism’s Evolution is about the role of evolution, as a theory, in American pragmatism, as well as the early evolution of pragmatism itself.” —Isis “Superb.” —Metascience “[An] important book.” —Acta Biotheoretica “A significant and edifying work.” —Choice “Pearce has done something remarkable and all too rare: written a book at the intersection of philosophy, science, and history that is equally excellent in all three respects.” —International Journal of Philosophical Studies

This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Examination of Society From the Standpoint of Evolution The general thesis of this book was first published in a prospectus distributed in April, 1901. The prospectus is necessarily a mere sketch, omitting all development of details. A brief, but more satisfactory, presentation was made in the American Journal of Sociology, for May, 1902, in a paper entitled "The Capitalization of Social Development." That paper is a condensation of the work now published. The book attempts to bring the doctrine of social evolution more definitely into relation with facts established by the newer treatment of history and life. The nineteenth century accumulated a greater mass of knowledge about human society than had been possessed in any previous age. Scientific research flung out into bold relief the fact that present-day civilization is the outcome of an unfinished growth-process which began on the levels of animality long before the times of written history. The remains of prehistoric ages, buried in ascending order in the soil of the continents, were extensively studied, with impressively uniform results wherever the investigation was carried. The sources of history, from ancient to modern times, were critically sifted. Altogether, through the labors of an army of inquirers, an immense mass of material has been accumulated, not only in immediate connection with the study of history and prehistoric archaeology, but along with the pursuit of investigations into the customs, manners, and arts of the lower races, the facts of human and animal psychology, and the action of the earth's physical forces. This material, however, is largely undigested. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of progress from the Enlightenment to postmodernism is still very much with us. In intellectual discourse, journals, popular magazines, and radio and talk shows, the debate between those who are "progressivists" and those who are "declinists" is as spirited as it was in the late seventeenth century. In History of the Idea of Progress, Robert Nisbet traces the idea of progress from its origins in Greek, Roman, and medieval civilizations to modern times. It is a masterful frame of reference for understanding the present world. Nisbet asserts there are two fundamental building blocks necessary to Western doctrines of human advancement: the idea of growth, and the idea of necessity. He sees Christianity as a key element in both secular and spiritual evolution, for it conveys all the ingredients of the modern idea of progress: the advancement of the human race in time, a single time frame for all the peoples and epochs of the past and present, the conception of time as linear, and the envisagement of the future as having a Utopian end. In his new introduction, Nisbet shows why the idea of progress remains of critical importance to studies of social evolution and natural history. He provides a contemporary basis for many disciplines, including sociology, economics, philosophy, religion, politics, and science. History of the Idea of Progress continues to be a major resource for scholars in all these areas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Development and Purpose: An Essay Towards, a Philosophy of Evolution The field covered in this volume is wide and the treatment in many parts is necessarily short and summary. In justi fication it must be said here that. The book completes a scheme which has occupied the writer for twenty-six years and has been carried through successive stages in three previous works. But in the meantime it was inevitable that the scheme itself should Change and expand, and the precise aim of this final instalment will therefore be most readily explained by giving a slight account of the manner in which the subject developed in the writer's mind during the somewhat extended period in question. In the middle of the Eighties, when the writer was first studying philosophy, the biological theory of evolution was already very generally accepted, and the philosophical extension of the theory by Mr. Herbert Spencer was, except in academic circles, in the heyday of its influence. Philosophically Mr. Spencer was not a materialist. But his metaphysical safeguards did not rescue the evolution theory from some of the most unfortunate consequences of a materialistic system. Evolution, as thus interpreted, meant, in its bearing on human life and action, essentially two things. It meant that the human mind must be regarded as an organ like the lungs or the liver evolved in the struggle for existence with the fiinction of adjusting.
