Holistic Darwinism: Synergy, Cybernetics, and the Bioeconomics of Evolution

Peter A. Corning

4.9/5 (18345 ratings)

Description:In recent years, evolutionary theorists have come to recognize that the reductionist, individualist, gene-centered approach to evolution cannot sufficiently account for the emergence of complex biological systems over time. Peter A. Corning has been at the forefront of a new generation of complexity theorists who have been working to reshape the foundations of evolutionary theory. Well known for his Synergism HypothesisOCoa theory of complexity in evolution that assigns a key causal role to various forms of functional synergyOCoCorning puts this theory into a much broader framework in "Holistic Darwinism," addressing many of the issues and concepts associated with the evolution of complex systems. Corning's paradigm embraces and integrates many related theoretical developments of recent years, from multilevel selection theory to niche construction theory, gene-culture coevolution theory, and theories of self-organization. Offering new approaches to thermodynamics, information theory, and economic analysis, Corning suggests how all of these domains can be brought firmly within what he characterizes as a postOConeo-Darwinian evolutionary synthesis."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
