Science, Politics, and Evolution - Elisabeth A. Lloyd - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Science, Politics, and Evolution - Elisabeth A. Lloyd - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

This book brings together important essays by one of the leading philosophers of science at work today. Elisabeth A. Lloyd examines several of the central topics in philosophy of biology, including the structure of evolutionary theory, units of selection, and evolutionary psychology, as well as the Science Wars, feminism and science, and sexuality and objectivity. Lloyd challenges the current evolutionary accounts of the female orgasm and analyses them for bias. She also offers an innovative analysis of the concept of objectivity. Lloyd analyses the structure of evolutionary theory and unlocks the puzzle of the units of selection debates into four distinct aspects, illuminating several mysteries in the biology literature. Central to all essays in this book is the author''s abiding concern for evidence and empirical data.

Demystifying Mentalities - Geoffrey Ernest Richard Lloyd - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Demystifying Mentalities - Geoffrey Ernest Richard Lloyd - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

The notion of distinct mentalities has been used extensively by historians to describe and explain cultural diversity. Professor Lloyd believes it is communication, not mentalities, that explains cultural diversity. Discussing apparently irrational beliefs and behaviour, he shows how different forms of thought coexist in a single culture but within conventionally defined contexts.

Analogical Investigations - G. E. R. Lloyd - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Analogical Investigations - G. E. R. Lloyd - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Western philosophy and science are responsible for constructing some powerful tools of investigation, aiming at discovering the truth, delivering robust explanations, verifying conjectures, showing that inferences are sound and demonstrating results conclusively. By contrast reasoning that depends on analogies has often been viewed with suspicion. Professor Lloyd first explores the origins of those Western ideals, criticises some of their excesses and redresses the balance in favour of looser, admittedly non-demonstrative analogical reasoning. For this he takes examples both from ancient Greek and Chinese thought and from the materials of recent ethnography to show how different ancient and modern cultures have developed different styles of reasoning. He also develops two original but controversial ideas, that of semantic stretch (to cast doubt on the literal/metaphorical dichotomy) and the multidimensionality of reality (to bypass the realism versus relativism and nature versus nurture controversies).

Woodrow Wilson and American Internationalism - Lloyd E. (university Of Nebraska Ambrosius - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Woodrow Wilson and American Internationalism - Lloyd E. (university Of Nebraska Ambrosius - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

In this new work, one of the world''s leading historians of US foreign relations, Lloyd E.Ambrosius, addresses enduring questions about American political culture and statecraft by focusing on President Woodrow Wilson and the United States in international relations during and after World War I. Updated to include recent historiography as well as an original introduction and conclusion, Woodrow Wilson and American Internationalism features nine different essays closely linked together by the themes of Wilson''s understanding of Americanism, his diplomacy to create a new world order in the wake of World War I, and the legacy of his foreign policy. Examining the exclusive as well as universal dimensions of Wilsonianism, Ambrosius assesses not only Wilson''s role during his presidency but also his legacy in defining America''s place in world history. Speaking to the transnational turn in American history, Ambrosius shows how Wilson''s liberal internationalist vision of a new world order would shape US foreign relations for the next century.
