Omschrijving
Darwin's Bridge: Uniting the Humanities and Sciences explores the meaning of consilience and considers the unity of human evolution, human nature, social dynamics, art, and narrative.
"Darwin's Bridge is a vibrant collection of essays on controversial topics from the origins of human intelligence and the sociobiology of Shakespearean sonnets to whether it makes sense to unite the sciences and humanities. This mind-expanding book does more than any other to answer Wilson's seductive and important call for an evolutionary psychology of the humanities." --Richard Wrangham, author of Catching Fire: How Cooking Made Us Human
Joseph Carroll is Curators' Professor of English at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. His books include Evolution and Literary Theory, Literary Darwinism, Reading Human Nature, and (co-authored) Graphing Jane Austen. He produced an edition of Darwin's Origin of Species. He is the leading figure in the movement known as "literary Darwinism," that is, the effort to integrate evolutionary social science and literary scholarship. Dan P. McAdams is the Henry Wade Rogers Professor of Psychology and Chair of the Psychology Department at Northwestern University. His research focuses on personality development across the human life course. Most recently, he is the author of The Redemptive Self: Stories Americans Live By and George W. Bush and the Redemptive Dream: A Psychological Portrait. Edward O. Wilson is Honorary Curator in Entomology and University Research Professor Emeritus, Harvard University. He has received more than 100 awards for his research and writing, including the U.S. National Medal of Science, the Crafoord Prize and two Pulitzer Prizes in non-fiction. He is considered one of the world's foremost biologists and naturalists today.
