Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

XII, 250 p.: Ill. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Schutzumschlag leicht berieben, leichte Randläsuren, Bleistifteintrag auf Schmutztitel, sonst gut und innen sauber / dust jacket slightly rubbed, light edgewear, pencil entry on half title, otherwise good and internally clean. - No one doubts the major role Darwin played in the development of modern science and thought. Darwin has become an almost mythological figure in the emergence of modern culture; yet he was by no means the first person to publish evolutionary ideas and his theory of natural selection was not generally accepted by his contemporaries. The publication of the Origin of Species excited much debate and controversy, at once challenging the very foundations of Christian belief, and yet appearing to underpin the Victonan concept of progress and the ability of science to explore areas of knowledge hitherto obscured by religious dogma. Today Darwins achievements still evoke powerful and contradictory responses. Peter Bowlers study of Darwins life and influence combines biography and cultural history. He sets out to disentangle the complex motivations that have led people to their various evaluations of Darwin the scientist and Darwinian theory. He shows how Darwins contemporaries were unable to appreciate precisely those aspects of his thinking we consider of importance today. Darwin was a product of his time, but he also transcended it, by creating an idea capable of being exploited by twentieth-century scientists and intellectuals who had very different values from his own. / Contents General Editors Preface Preface 1 The Problem of Interpretation The Man and the Myths New Perspectives on the Rise of Evolutionism 2 Evolution before the Origin of Species Radical Evolutionism The Opponents of Transmutation 3 The Young Darwin The Darwin Family University Life 4 The Voyage of the Beagle South America Across the Pacific 5 The Crucial Years: London, 1857-1842 Man about Town The Origins of the Selection Theory 6 The Years of Development Man about Down Scientific Work 7 Going Public Enter Wallace The Argument of the Origin of Species 8 The Emergence of Darwinism Cultivating his Garden The Darwinians 9 The Opponents of Darwinism Theistic Evolutionism The Rise of Lamarckism 10 Human Origins The Descent of Man Social Evolutionism 11 Darwin and the Modern World The Death of Darwin . . and the Rebirth of Darwinism Notes Bibliography Index.
