Description

In modern academic discourse, neuroscience and evolutionary processes are frequently used to explain human behavior and experience. While these biological explanations have become widely accepted by the public, they are not without controversy. This volume from Routledge provides a necessary counterpoint to the trend of biologising the social sciences. This book gathers a collection of emerging critiques from an international group of senior academics. By examining the assumption that human identity is defined solely by our bodies and animal origins, the contributors offer a deep look into the current debates within the social sciences. It is an essential resource for students and scholars looking to understand the tensions between biological reductionism and traditional social science perspectives. Whether you are studying psychology, philosophy, or sociology, this text provides a rigorous review of how biological frameworks are being challenged in contemporary academic research. It serves as a vital tool for anyone interested in the history and philosophy of the social sciences.
