Description: | This is a book about two alternatives to orthodox Darwinism that turn out to be both closely related and mutually reinforcing – and which both uphold Darwin’s version of events as a secondary force. One derives from late 19th/early 20th century French philosophy; the other from contemporary complex evolutionary biology. I set out in this book to describe both these alternatives in terms understandable by as wide a range of scholars as I am able: both to inform those aware of philosophy concerning the developments in environmental biology; and, perhaps more importantly, vice versa. In the process I will also need to tell the history of our understanding and use of the term ‘system’: it turns out that this is crucial to how we understand evolution. |
