商品描述

On Human Nature: Biology, Psychology, Ethics, Politics, and Religion covers the present state of knowledge on human diversity and its adaptative significance through a broad and eclectic selection of representative chapters. This transdisciplinary work brings together specialists from various fields who rarely interact, including geneticists, evolutionists, physicians, ethologists, psychoanalysts, anthropologists, sociologists, theologians, historians, linguists, and philosophers.

Genomic diversity is covered in several chapters dealing with biology, including the differences in men and apes and the genetic diversity of mankind. Top specialists, known for their open mind and broad knowledge have been carefully selected to cover each topic. The book is therefore at the crossroads between biology and human sciences, going beyond classical science in the Popperian sense.

The book is accessible not only to specialists, but also to students, professors, and the educated public. Glossaries of specialized terms and general public references help nonspecialists understand complex notions, with contributions avoiding technical jargon.

  • Provides greater understanding of diversity and population structure and history, with crucial foundational knowledge needed to conduct research in a variety of fields, such as genetics and disease
  • Includes three robust sections on biological, psychological, and ethical aspects, with cross-fertilization and reciprocal references between the three sections
  • Contains contributions by leading experts in their respective fields working under the guidance of internationally recognized and highly respected editors

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《人性探討:生物學、心理學、倫理學、政治學與宗教》涵蓋了人類多樣性及其適應意義的現狀知識,透過廣泛且多元的代表性章節進行探討。這部跨學科的著作匯集了來自不同領域的專家,這些領域之間很少互動,包括遺傳學家、進化論者、醫生、動物行為學家、精神分析學家、人類學家、社會學家、神學家、歷史學家、語言學家和哲學家。

幾個章節探討了基因組多樣性,涵蓋了人類與猿類之間的差異以及人類的遺傳多樣性。這些主題由以開放的心態和廣泛的知識著稱的頂尖專家精心挑選,進行深入探討。因此,這本書位於生物學與人文科學的交匯點,超越了波普所指的傳統科學。

本書不僅對專家可讀,對學生、教授及受過教育的公眾也同樣友好。專業術語的詞彙表和一般公眾參考資料幫助非專業人士理解複雜的概念,並避免使用技術術語的貢獻。

- 提供對多樣性和人口結構及歷史的更深入理解,並提供進行遺傳學和疾病等多個領域研究所需的關鍵基礎知識
- 包含三個強有力的部分,分別探討生物學、心理學和倫理學方面,並在三個部分之間進行交叉融合和相互參考
- 包含在各自領域內的領先專家的貢獻,這些專家在國際公認且備受尊敬的編輯指導下工作
