Science, Politics, and Evolution - Elisabeth A. Lloyd - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Science, Politics, and Evolution - Elisabeth A. Lloyd - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

This book brings together important essays by one of the leading philosophers of science at work today. Elisabeth A. Lloyd examines several of the central topics in philosophy of biology, including the structure of evolutionary theory, units of selection, and evolutionary psychology, as well as the Science Wars, feminism and science, and sexuality and objectivity. Lloyd challenges the current evolutionary accounts of the female orgasm and analyses them for bias. She also offers an innovative analysis of the concept of objectivity. Lloyd analyses the structure of evolutionary theory and unlocks the puzzle of the units of selection debates into four distinct aspects, illuminating several mysteries in the biology literature. Central to all essays in this book is the author''s abiding concern for evidence and empirical data.

The Cambridge Companion to Richard Wright - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Cambridge Companion to Richard Wright - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Hailed as ''the father of black literature in the twentieth century'', Richard Wright was an iconoclast, an intellectual of towering stature, whose multidisciplinary erudition rivals only that of W. E. B. Du Bois. This collection captures Wright''s immense power, which has made him a beacon for writers across decades, from the civil rights era to today. Individual essays examine Wright''s art as central to his intellectual life and shed new light on his classic texts - Native Son and Black Boy. Other essays turn to his short fiction, and non-fiction as well as his lesser-known work in journalism and poetry, paying particular attention to manuscripts in Wright''s archive - unpublished letters and novels, plans for multivolume works - that allow us to see the depth and expansiveness of his aesthetic and political vision. Exploring how Wright''s expatriation to France facilitated a broadening of this vision, contributors challenge the idea that expatriation led to Wright''s artistic decline.

Rethinking Creativity - Robert W. Weisberg - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Rethinking Creativity - Robert W. Weisberg - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

This book presents a new perspective on creativity: that creative innovation depends on inside-of-the-box thinking. It shows that creativity builds on what we know and how we use old ideas to produce new ones. In a highly readable format, Robert W. Weisberg uses case studies of seminal creative advances, such as Leonardo''s ''Aerial Screw'' and Frank Lloyd Wright''s award-winning house, ''Fallingwater.'' These fascinating examples are evaluated alongside cutting-edge research to present an analysis of creativity that challenges us to think differently about this intriguing cognitive ability.

Richard Wright in Context - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Richard Wright in Context - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Richard Wright was one of the most influential and complex African American writers of the twentieth century. Best known as the trailblazing, bestselling author of Native Son and Black Boy, he established himself as an experimental literary intellectual in France who creatively drew on some of the leading ideas of his time - Marxism, existentialism, psychoanalysis, and postcolonialism - to explore the sources and meaning of racism both in the United States and worldwide. Richard Wright in Context gathers thirty-three new essays by leading scholars relating Wright''s writings to biographical, regional, social, literary, and intellectual contexts essential to understanding them. It explores the places that shaped his life and enabled his literary destiny, the social and cultural contexts he both observed and immersed himself in, and the literary and intellectual contexts that made him one the most famous Black writers in the world at mid-century.
