商品簡介
Ghiselin (California Academy of Sciences) evaluates Charles Darwin's extensive literature not only from a historical and a scientific point of view, but also from a philosophical perspective offering solutions to address the lack of consensus by scholars on many issues related to Darwin's research. The book forms a useful survey of Darwin's concepts and rationale, and builds a unified theoretical system that explains all the major features of his significant work. The study is an unabridged republication of the 1972 edition (except for a new preface by the author), and it can serve as an introduction to Darwin's ideas for both general readers and scientists.
