Darwin's Shadow by Manfred Velden (German) Hardcover Book

Description: Darwin's Shadow by Manfred Velden Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Evolutionary Psychology, an offspring of Sociobiology, claims to explain human mental (psychological) functions on the basis of evolution theory. Researchers in the field try to monopolise Darwin for their purpose by calling themselves Darwinists or by putting his portrait on the cover of their books. It is shown that Darwin, who actually tried to explain some human behavior, like altruistic behavior, in the context of evolution theory, found the intellectual and moral faculties to be predominantly shaped by sociocultural, not biological factors, however. It is also shown that the tendency to reduce mental functions to biological ones, biologism, affects many fields of inquiry to their detriment, such as education, criminology, psychiatry, or philology. Biologisms dehumanising effect on our view of the human condition is the dominant topic of the book. Author Biography Prof. Dr. Manfred Velden studied psychology at the Universities of Bonn and Berkley (University of California). As a professor at the Universities of Mainz, Berlin (TU) and OsnabrÜck, he represented the subjects of Perception Psychology, Biological Psychology and Psychosomatics.
