Hull takes an unusual approach to his subject"-natalie angier, new york times book review"by far the most professional and thorough case in favour of an evolutionary philosophy of science ever to have been madeit contains excellent short histories of evolutionary biology and of systematics (the science of classifying living things); an important and original account of modern systematic controversy; a counter-attack against the philosophical critics of evolutionary philosophy; social-psychological evidence, collected by hull himself, to show that science does have the character demanded by his philosophy; and a philosophical analysis of evolution which is general enough to apply to both biological and historical changeoxfam books & music crouch end "legend is overdue for replacement, and an adequate replacement must attend to the process of science as carefully as hull has donemoreover, science as a process is one of the most compulsively readable books that i have ever encounteredi share his vision of a serious account of the social and intellectual dynamics of science that will avoid both the rosy blur of legend and the facile charms of relativismbowler, archives of natural history "i have been doing philosophy of science now for twenty-five years, and whilst i would never have claimed that i knew everything, i felt that i had a really good handle on the nature of science, again and again, hull was able to show me just how incomplete my understanding was"-michael ruse, biology and philosophy see oxfam website for delivery information read more"-mark ridley, times literary supplement"hull is primarily interested in how social interactions within the scientific community can help or hinder the process by which new theories and techniques get acceptedbecause of hull's deep concern with the ways in which research is actually done, science as a process begins an important project in the study of sciencehe applies the rules of evolution in nature to the evolution of science, arguing that the same kinds of forces responsible for shaping the rise and demise of species also act on the development of scientific ideas"-philip kitcher, nature "in science as a process, david hull argues that the tension between cooperation and competition is exactly what makes science so successfulthe claim that science is a process for selecting out the best new ideas is not a new one, but hull tells us exactly how scientists go about it, and he is prepared to accept that at least to some extent, the social activities of the scientists promoting a new idea can affect its chances of being acceptedit is one of a distinguished series of books, which hull himself edits

Combined with an evolutionary account of sensory representation, the result is a completely naturalistic account of phenomenal consciousnessdretske's theory of naturalistic representationalism is an approach to the study of consciousness that can pin down the slippery first-person aspect of our sensory and affective lifecentral to dretske's approach is the claim that the phenomenal aspects of perceptual experiences are one and the same as external, real world properties that experience represents objects as havingit distinguishes, in wholly naturalistic terms, between what we experience (reality) and how we experience it (appearance)"naturalizing the mind" skilfully a representational theory of the qualitative, the phenomenal, the what-it-is-like aspects of the mind that have defied traditional forms of naturalismchapter five addresses anticipated philosophical objections to the theoryone must understand what the mind's job is and how this task can be performed by a physical system - the nervous systemthe theory establishes a framework within which subjectivity can be studied objectively, explains the peculiar authority we enjoy about our own mental states, and provides a biologically plausible answer to questions about the function or purpose of consciousnesssee oxfam website for delivery information read moreoxfam bookshop preston how can the baffling problems of phenomenal experience be accounted for? in this discourse fred dretske argues that to achieve an understanding of the mind it is not enough to understand the biological machinery by means of which the mind does its jobin the first four chapters (the original jean nicod lectures), dretske focuses on what naturalistic representationalism reveals about introspective knowledge, intentionality, qualia, inverted spectra, the biological function of conscious experience, and the possibility of knowing what alien experiences are like

Once our ancestors learned to put their heads together with others to pursue shared goals, humankind was on an evolutionary path all its ownwhat differentiates us most from other great apes, tomasello proposes, are the new forms of thinking engendered by our new forms of collaborative and communicative interactiontomasello argues that our prehuman ancestors, like today's great apes, were social beings who could solve problems by thinkingin order to survive, humans had to learn to see the world from multiple social perspectives, to draw socially recursive inferences, and to monitor their own thinking via the normative standards of the groupbut they were almost entirely competitive, aiming only at their individual goalsin this much-anticipated book, michael tomasello weaves his twenty years of comparative studies of humans and great apes into a compelling argument that cooperative social interaction is the key to our cognitive uniquenessa natural history of human thinking is the most detailed scientific analysis to date of the connection between human sociality and cognitionsee oxfam website for delivery information read moretomasello's "shared intentionality hypothesis" captures how these more socially complex forms of life led to more conceptually complex forms of thinkingeven language and culture arose from the preexisting need to work togetheroxfam bookshop preston tool-making or culture, language or religious belief: ever since darwin, thinkers have struggled to identify what fundamentally differentiates human beings from other animalsas ecological changes forced them into more cooperative living arrangements, early humans had to coordinate their actions and communicate their thoughts with collaborative partners
