Over dit product
Product Information
The publication in 1998 of Susan Blackmore's bestselling 'The Meme Machine' re-awakened the debate over the highly controversial field of memetics. In the past few years, there has been an explosion of interest in 'memes'. The one thing noticeably missing has been any kind of proper debate over the validity of a concept regarded by many as scientifically suspect. This book pits leading intellectuals, (both supporters and opponents of meme theory), against each other to battle it out, and state their case. With a forward by Daniel Dennett, and contributions form Dan Sperber, David Hll, Robert Boyd, Susan Blackmore, Henry Plotkin, and others, the result is a thrilling and challenging debate that will perhaps mark a turning point for the field, and for future research. Superbly edited by Robert Aunger, this is a thought provoking book that will fascinate, stimulate, (and occasionally perhaps infuriate) a broad range of readers including psychologists, biologists, philosophers, linguists, and anthropologists.

Reviews
If you need a guide into the murky heat of memetics, look no further than the essays in Darwinizing Culture, which are a fine illustration of the murkiness at the heart of memetics, admirably framed by Bob Aunger's introduction and conclusion, "Editor Aunger ... provides a good introduction to the book and a finalconculsion to the academics arguments." Otago Daily Times, "[P]rovides the platform for a challenging debate on the subject and pits leading intellectuals (both supporters and opponents of meme theory) to state their case."--Otago Daily Times "Watching these ... expert anthropologists, psychologists and evolutionary biologists ... debate a genuinely provocative idea ... makes for brain-stretching fun."--Weekend Australian, "Editor Aunger ... provides a good introduction to the book and a final conculsion to the academics arguments." Otago Daily Times, "It is a tribute to Robert Aunger that, for an editor who must have some leanings towards the charms of memetics, a selection of contributors has been chosen in such a way as to provide a rich, interdisciplinary set of critical analyses" The Times Higher Education Supplement, "It is a tribute to Robert Aunger that, for an editor who must have some leanings towards the charms of memetics, a selection of contributors has been chosen in such a way as to provide a rich, interdisciplinary set of critical analyses" The Times Higher Education Supplement"Editor Aunger ... provides a good introduction to the book and a final conculsion to the academics arguments." Otago Daily Times"Blackmore's theory needed development and criticism. It has now got that in spades in Aunger's book from a panel of expert anthropologists, psychologists and evoltionary biologists who tend to be sceptical if not scathing. Watching these specialists debate a genuinely provocative idea if it is rather too simple to be true, makes for brain- stretching fun." Weekend Australian, "Blackmore's theory needed development and criticism. It has now got that in spades in Aunger's book from a panel of expert anthropologists, psychologists and evoltionary biologists who tend to be sceptical if not scathing. Watching these specialists debate a genuinely provocative idea if itis rather too simple to be true, makes for brain- stretching fun." Weekend Australian, "[P]rovides the platform for a challenging debate on the subject and pits leading intellectuals (both supporters and opponents of meme theory) to state their case."--Otago Daily Times"Watching these ... expert anthropologists, psychologists and evolutionary biologists ... debate a genuinely provocative idea ... makes for brain-stretching fun."--Weekend Australian, A stimulating snapshot of the state of memetics from the year 1999. I recommend it to anyone interested in the history and development of the field.
