A gene (considered as a lineage of material copies) persists if its lineage has been consistently associated with survival and reproduction.

Natural selection, a process without purpose, gives rise to purposeful These texts become the specifications for the intricate mechanisms of living beings. Natural selection, a process without purpose, gives rise to purposeful From Darwin to Derrida at 300 miles per hour while taking all the side streets. Haig draws on a wide range of sources—from Laurence Sterne's Tristram Shandy to Immanuel Kant's Critique of the Power of Judgment to the work of Jacques Derrida to the latest findings on gene transmission, duplication, and expression—to make his argument. Lots of metaphors and quite a bit of getting at the root of things (the meaning of meaning, the function of function, etc.). In From Darwin to Derrida, evolutionary biologist David Haig explains how a physical world of matter in motion gave rise to a living world of purpose and meaning. 全体的な星の評価と星ごとの割合の内訳を計算するために、単純な平均は使用されません。その代わり、レビューの日時がどれだけ新しいかや、レビューアーがAmazonで商品を購入したかどうかなどが考慮されます。また、レビューを分析して信頼性が検証されます。, さらに、映画もTV番組も見放題。200万曲が聴き放題 ", "What, Haig asks, is the teleological purpose of consciousness? Contradictory? That’s why I give it a 5-star rating. Life is interpretation—the use of information in choice. Its intriguing moral may be his dauntingly scientific first thirteen chapters legitimize and actually call for the kind of philosophical thinking that his last chapters unabashedly exemplify.”, Jubilee Professor of Philosophy (Emeritus), University of Illinois, “In this profound and witty book, David Haig rediscovers Aristotle's four causes and tackles the foundations of biology and philosophy (and their joint history). Eggs exist for the sake of becoming chickens and chickens for the sake of laying eggs. ", “David Haig's powerful mind and trenchant wit are fully matched by his caring heart and his gracious style. Not a beginner’s guide to evolutionary biology (go to Dawkins’ The Selfish Gene for that), but a very worthwhile read for those who want to find a good concentration of great ideas. This is the philosophizing of a very insightful, hence prominent, evolutionary biologist. From Darwin to Derrida: Selfish Genes, Social Selves, and the Meanings of Life David Haig. Lots of Great Ideas: Some Effort Required. Meaning, Haig argues, is the output of a process of interpretation; there is a continuum from the very simplest forms of interpretation, instantiated in single RNA molecules near the origins of life, to the most sophisticated. Genes and their effects, he explains, are like eggs and chickens. Easy-going, but extremely dense. Haig briefly describes enough brilliant ideas to fill multiple volumes. Lots of metaphors and quite a bit of getting at the root of things (the meaning of meaning, the function of function, etc.). I wholeheartedly agree. He offers a subtle yet far-reaching, reinterpretation of genetics, culture, and the nature and meaning of meaning. Genes and their effects, he explains, are like eggs and chickens. I wholeheartedly agree. Eggs exist for the sake of becoming chickens and chickens for the sake of laying eggs. 商品詳細ページを閲覧すると、ここに履歴が表示されます。チェックした商品詳細ページに簡単に戻る事が出来ます。, © 1996-2020, Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates, Professional Science Biological Sciences (洋書). A gene's effects have a causal role in determining which genes are copied. The key to this, Haig proposes, is the origin of mutable “texts”—genes—that preserve a record of what has worked in the world. Indeed, he ricochets between Darwin and Derrida in what he acknowledges is a collection of papers and speeches organized into chapters.
