Description

Explore the deep connection between biological evolution and human cognition in Philosophical Darwinism: On the Origin of Knowledge by Means of Natural Selection. Published by Routledge, this work by Peter Munz addresses a significant gap in philosophical discourse regarding how the evolution of human beings impacts long-standing philosophical problems. Munz argues that much of the knowledge produced through evolution is a priori, established via chance mutation and selective retention rather than through observation or intelligent induction. By viewing organisms as embodied theories, the text explains how selection operates naturally for organisms and artificially for theories. This perspective, following the work of Popper, suggests that the growth of knowledge is a continuous process that begins with the amoeba and extends to complex human thought. This book provides a unique lens for readers interested in the philosophy of science and the biological roots of human understanding.
