This is a volume of original essays written by philosophers and scientists and dealing with philosophical questions arising from work in evolutionary biology and artificial intelligence. In recent years both of these areas have been the focus for attempts to provide a scientific, model of a wide range of human capacities - most prominently perhaps in sociobiology and cognitive psychology. The book therefore examines a number of issues related to the search for a 'naturalistic' or scientific account of human experience and behaviour. Some of the essays deal with the application of such models to particular behaviour, stressing the problems raised by consciousness, and the information to be derived from the differing capacities of animals and people; others consider more general questions about the logic of the explanations provided by these kinds of approach. The volume continues the informal series stemming from meetings sponsored by the Thyssen Foundation.

Hard Cover. Zustand: Fine. 177 pages. "The papers in this volume are concerned with problems that arise within the kinds of approaches to the understanding of behaviour from natural selection I have just outlined. Some deal with general issues about the sorts of explanations that are provided when we make use of Artifical Intelligence. Others deal with the application of particular stress upon the problems raised by consciousness and on what can be learned about the differing capacitites of animals and people. My own paper is more purely philosophical than the others, but it deals in general terms with some aspects of the issue of naturalism." FINE HARDCOVER. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
