The notion of 'natural kinds' has been central to contemporary discussions of metaphysics and philosophy of science. Although explicitly articulated by nineteenth-century philosophers like Mill, Whewell and Venn, it has a much older history dating back to Plato and Aristotle. In recent years, essentialism has been the dominant account of natural kinds among philosophers, but the essentialist view has encountered resistance, especially among naturalist metaphysicians and philosophers of science. Informed by detailed examination of classification in the natural and social sciences, this book argues against essentialism and for a naturalist account of natural kinds. By looking at case studies drawn from diverse scientific disciplines, from fluid mechanics to virology and polymer science to psychiatry, the author argues that natural kinds are nodes in causal networks. On the basis of this account, he maintains that there can be natural kinds in the social sciences as well as the natural sc

A visionary debut novel, an anthropological adventure story that combines the visceral allure of a thriller with a profound and tragic vision of what happens when cultures collide.In 1950, Norton Perina, a young doctor, signs on for an expedition to a remote Micronesian island in search of a rumored lost tribe. The trip is a success, and Norton and his anthropologist companion find not only the tribe they're looking for but also a group of forest dwellers they name "The dreamers," who have somehow attained extraordinarily long life. Norton suspects the source of their longevity is an indigenous turtle and, unable to resist the possibility of near immortality, he kills one and smuggles it back to the States. He scientifically proves his thesis, earning worldwide fame and a Nobel Prize, but soon discovers that this miracle comes at a terrible price. As things quickly spiral out of his control, Norton's own demons take hold, with devastating personal consequences.

Former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams triggered a storm of protest when he suggested that some accommodation between British law and Islam's shari'a law was 'inevitable'. His foundational lecture introduced a series of public discussions on Islam and English Law at the Royal Courts of Justice and the Temple Church in London. This volume combines developed versions of these discussions with new contributions. Theologians, lawyers and sociologists look back on developments since the Archbishop spoke and forwards along trajectories opened by the historic lecture. The contributors provide and advocate a forward-looking dialogue, asking how the rights of all citizens are honoured and their responsibilities met. Twenty specialists explore the evolution of English law, the implications of Islam, shari'a and jihad and the principles of the European Convention on Human Rights, family law and freedom of speech. This book is for anyone interested in the interaction between religion and s
