Excerpt from Development and Evolution: Including Psychophysical Evolution, Evolution by Orthoplasy, and the Theory of Genetic Modes
The relation of this Volume to the two earlier ones is spoken of above. The close connection of the three volumes, all of which might have been made parts of a single larger work, renders necessary the repeated citation of each one of them in the others, in a way which may seem - and has seemed, to one critic - to be a case of a writer's liking 'to quote himself.' It is really, however, a matter of division of material - with separate publication of the parts - and the references are such as one usually finds from chapter to chapter in the course of one work. The interconnection of the topics it is, therefore, with the need of expounding them, for the sake of comprehensive ness, in this interconnection, that gives a somewhat per sonal look to these references.

Excerpt from Development and Evolution: Including Psychophysical Evolution, Evolution by Orthoplasy, and the Theory of Genetic Modes
The present volume fulfils in a general way the intention, expressed in the preface to the first edition I of the work Social and Ethical Interpretations, of taking up some of the biological problems most closely connected with psychological ones and falling under the general scope of the genetic method. General biology is to-day mainly theory of evolution, and its handmaid is theory of individual development.
The composition of the work - like that of the companion volumes - has been gradual, and the positions taken have been in many cases already presented in journals under various dates since 1895. This is especially true of the matter contained in Part II., regarding which a word of more detailed explanation is necessary.
Since the first publication of the position, called in these pages and earlier 'Organic Selection,' by three writers independently, - Professor H. F. Osborn, Principal Lloyd Morgan, and myself, - considerable discussion has arisen about the theory, its meaning and value, and the original papers announcing the point of view have been under somewhat close inspection. The demand for reprints of these papers, in my own case - to speak only of my own case - has made it seem advisable to have them put in some available form much as they originally appeared.

Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book concerns the evolution of mind and body together, and the direction and results of the genetic factors involved. It is not enough to examine biological facts and principles. We must also recognize the principles and facts of the mental life. In this book, the author takes up problems drawn from mental and social evolution and interprets them to determine what sort of a theory of biological evolution is rendered the more probable when we recognize both biological and psychological facts. The author's main conclusion is that biological processes are tied to conscious ones, and that in order to completely understand an organism's biological makeup, one must exhaustively examine its corresponding conscious makeup, and vice versa. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781330282663_0
