Автор: Turner, Jonathan H. Machalek, Richard S. Название: New evolutionary sociology ISBN: 0815387083 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780815387084 Издательство: Taylor&Francis Рейтинг: Цена: 50010.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание:
For decades, evolutionary analysis was overlooked or altogether ignored by sociologists. Fears and biases persisted nearly a century after Comte Auguste gave the discipline its name, as did concerns that its effect would only reduce sociology to another discipline - whether biology, psychology, or economics. Worse, apprehension that the application of evolutionary theory would encourage heightened perceptions of racism, sexism, ethnocentrism and reductionism pervaded.
Turner and Machalek argue instead for a new embrace of biology and evolutionary analysis. Sociology, from its very beginnings in the early 19th century, has always been concerned with the study of evolution, particularly the transformation of societies from simple to ever-more complex forms. By comprehensively reviewing the original ways that sociologists applied evolutionary theory and examining the recent renewal and expansion of these early approaches, the authors confront the challenges posed by biology, neuroscience, and psychology to distinct evolutionary approaches within sociology. They emerge with key theoretical and methodological discoveries that demonstrate the critical - and compelling - case for a dramatically enriched sociology that incorporates all forms of comparative evolutionary analysis to its canon and study of sociocultural phenomena.

Автор: Carney, Scott Название: What doesn`t kill us ISBN: 1911617540 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781911617549 Издательство: TBS/GBS Рейтинг: Цена: 14510.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: A New York Times bestseller and a Book of the Year for the Evening Standard and The Times. Is getting a little less comfortable the key to living a happier, healthier life?When journalist Scott Carney came across a picture of a man in his fifties sitting on a glacier in just his underwear, he assumed it must be a hoax. Dutch guru Wim Hof claimed he could control his body temperature using his mind and teach others to do the same.
Sceptical, Carney signed up to Hof's one-week course, not realising that it would be the start of a four-year journey to unlock his own evolutionary potential. From hyperventilating in a Polish farmhouse to underwater weight training in California, and eventually climbing Mt Kilimanjaro wearing just shorts and running shoes, Carney travelled the world testing out unorthodox methods of body transformation and discovering the science behind them. In What Doesn't Kill Us he explains how getting a little less comfortable can help us to unlock our lost evolutionary strength.

Автор: Chris Sinha Название: Ten Lectures on Language, Culture and Mind: Cultural, Developmental and Evolutionary Perspectives in Cognitive Linguistics ISBN: 9004349049 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789004349049 Издательство: Brill Цена: 131500.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: In this interdisciplinary collection of lectures, Chris Sinha presents an overview of topics ranging from language in children’s play, through cultural conceptualizations of time, to philosophical and linguistic relativism. The intertwining of the evolutionary and individual time scales of human development is a key theme unifying the lectures, as is the fundamentally cultural nature of language and cognition. Familiar topics in cognitive linguistics, such as spatial semantics and conceptual blending, are addressed from these cultural, comparative and developmental perspectives. Chris Sinha also discusses the psychological roots of key concepts in cognitive linguistics, and sets out a biocultural approach to language evolution.

Автор: Marcel Danesi Название: Semiotic Perspectives in Evolutionary Psychology, Artificial Intelligence, and the Study of Mind: Emerging Research and Opportunities ISBN: 1522589244 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781522589242 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 170010.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: Interest in the enigma of the human mind is as old as recorded history. Methods for studying the human mind, which have advanced alongside of technology, should also be approached from the perspective of semiotics—the science of signs and sign systems. Semiotic Perspectives in Evolutionary Psychology, Artificial Intelligence, and the Study of Mind: Emerging Research and Opportunities is an essential scholarly publication that revisits key concepts in the study of mind today, especially as it relates to the concept of intelligence and its modeling in artificial and augmented paradigms. Additionally, the book aims to penetrate the qualities of natural intelligence based on semiotic theory including the role of the imagination and inferential guesswork in creating knowledge and will show how a semiotic approach to intelligence can shed light on the dangers inherent in post-humanism and its nonchalant view that human intelligence is not unique but just another algorithm. Featuring a wide range of topics including neuroscience, sociobiology, and evolutionary psychology, this book is ideal for academicians, professionals, researchers, and students working in AI, psychology, cognitive sciences, semiotics, and culture studies.
