Philosophical Darwinism – On the Origin of Knowledge by Means of Natural Selection

Peter Munz0415086027, 9780415086028

Philosophical Darwinism brings an entirely new perspective to contemporary debates. It has far-reaching implications for cognitive science and artificial intelligence, and questions attempts from the field of biology to reduce mental events to neural processes. Most importantly, it provides a rational postmodern alternative to what the author views as the unreasonable postmodern theories of Kuhn, Lyotard, and Rorty.
