Taylor & Francis Herodotos the Historian Routledge Revivals His Problems Methods and Originality
Book SynopsisThe work of Herodotos of Halikarnassos, âthe father of historyâ, differs in many ways from that of modern historians, and it poses special problems to the student. Herodotosâ history of the Persian Wars, written in the second half of the fifth century BC, was both the first attempt at a comprehensive history and the first lengthy prose narrative in the Western cultural tradition. There was an almost total lack of written historical evidence in Greece at the time, and the audiences who paid to hear Herodotosâ lectures also expected historical dramatizations, and enjoyed descriptive material and anecdotes that today would be relegated to notes.In Herodotus the Historian, first published in 1985, K.H. Waters offers a comprehensive introduction to Herodotusâ background, aims, and methods. In a lively, informative style, this work offers a level-headed approach to an historian who has excited some extreme reactions and incited controversy among modern readers.Table of ContentsForeword; Abbreviations; ‘Life’ of Herodotus 1.

Taylor & Francis Philosophy of Evolutionary Biology Volume I The
Book SynopsisThe impact of evolutionary theory on the philosophy of science has been no less profound than its impact on the science of biology itself. Advances in this theory provide a rich set of examples for thinking about the nature of scientific explanation and the structure of science. Many of the developments in our understanding of evolution resulted from contributions by both philosophers and biologists engaging over theoretical questions of mutual interest. This volume traces some of the most influential exchanges in this field over the last few decades. Focal topics include the nature of biological functions, adaptationism as an explanatory and methodological doctrine, the levels of selection debate, the concepts of fitness and drift, and the relationship of evolutionary to developmental biology.Table of ContentsContents: Introduction; Part I Function and Purpose in Biology: Functions as selected effects: the conceptual analyst's defense, Karen Neander; A modern history theory of functions, Peter Godfrey-Smith; Function without purpose: the uses of causal role function in evolutionary biology, Ron Amundson and George V. Lauder; Function, homology and character individuation, Paul E. Griffiths.

Brandon and Mark D. Rausher; The causes of natural selection, Michael J. Wade and Susan Kalisz. Part III Fitness, Drift and the Forces of Evolution: The propensity interpretation of fitness, Susan K. Mills and John H. Beatty; Chance and natural selection, John Beatty; The indeterministic character of evolutionary theory: no 'no hidden variables proof' but no room for determinism either, Robert N. Brandon and Scott Carson; Is indeterminism the source of the statistical character of evolutionary theory?, Leslie Graves, Barbara L. Horan and Alex Rosenberg; Are random drift and natural selection conceptually distinct?, Roberta L. Millstein; The trials of life: natural selection and random drift, Denis M.
