theories of the Evolution of Knowing Summary

theories of the Evolution of Knowing: the T.c. Schneirla Conferences Series, Volume 4 by Gary Greenberg

This volume presents current thought and criticism on evolutionary epistemology -- the evolution of knowledge and knowing. As the theme of the fourth T.C. Schneirla Conference held at Wichita State University, evolutionary epistemology was examined from several diverse areas of study including comparative, developmental, physiological, and cultural psychology as well as philosophy. Theories of the Evolution of Knowing addresses alternatives to the genetic determinism inherent in Donald Campbell's concept of genetic epistemology. The concept of integrative levels is shown to offer a parsimonious, non- reductionist approach to the development of knowing as a human capacity.

theories of the Evolution of Knowing Reviews

This book will be of interest to a wide range of specialists....I am impressed with this book and find much in it to recommend to psychologists and to others concerned with ontogenetic issues and with philosophical ramifications of evolution and natural history. The chapters require effort, but the conceptual rewards more than repay the effort.
