Darwinism and the Linguistic Image: Language, Race, and Natural Theology in the Nineteenth Century - Rilegato
Sinossi
Historian Alter explains how Darwin drew models and examples for his theory of evolution from the new discipline of philology, even though analogues of languages descending from common ancestors provided no real scientific evidence for biological evolution. He analyzes the argumentative strategy implicit in such comparisons, and considers the long-term consequences in both biology and the humanities. Annotation c.

Recensione
"The emphasis throughout on how analogies can influence belief is important and persuasive. All told, Alter has provided a rich and rewarding account of the often subtle connections that bound the nineteenth-century sciences of language and life." -- Gregory Radick, British Journal of the History of Science
Recensione
"By far the most comprehensive discussion of the contributions made by linguists for and against Darwin's theory. There are lessons here for the contemporary understanding of human evolution." -- Robert J. Richards, University of Chicago
