Human cultures generate meanings, and the history of ideas, broadly conceived, is the study of these meanings. An adequate theory of culture must therefore rest on a suitable philosophical enquiry into the nature of the history of ideas. Mark Bevir's book explores the forms of reasoning appropriate to the history of ideas, enhancing our understanding by grappling with central q...(展开全部)

这是一本关于生物学——特别是遗传学——的历史回顾。在书中，弗朗索瓦·雅各布重新考察了生命、时间、偶然、个体这些观念——从宏观到微观再到分子的尺度。 很久以来，人类一直依据外形对生物进行分类。十八世纪之后，人们将目光转向细胞，在细胞内寻找“隐藏的生命建筑”，直到十九世纪发现了基因，二十世纪解析了DNA的双螺旋结构，开启了分子生物学时代。在《生命的逻辑》一书中，雅各布清晰地展示了每一次大规模的认知转变都是一次智识革命，彻底改变了人类对自身在宇宙中置身何处的理解。 本书以遗传学的发展为例，诠释了关于生物系统的普适理论形成的历程，描绘了科学发展的内在逻辑，论述了知识储备、技术条件与想像力如何为科学突破做好了铺垫。 最后，雅各布探讨了我们这个时代仍在面对的若干基本问题：基因在何种程度上塑造了人类的行为？环境与人类的发育是什么关系？人类现在可以决定自己的演化了吗...(展开全部)
