Thomistic Philosophy in the Face of Evolutionary Fact
The purpose of this book is to integrate the fact of biological evolution (which, as such, should not be confused with the evolutionary theories and ideologies supposedly based on that fact) with the principles and contents of Thomistic philosophy. After identifying the main difficulties involved in this endeavor—and how they have been addressed by other authors within the Thomistic tradition—we present our own thesis. We begin by arguing that the diversity of species and varieties of corporeal living beings is consistent with Aquinas’ thought. Next, we distinguish between two forms of evolution, namely, intraspecific and transspecific; following the central tenets of Aquinas’ philos...
Zeitschrift für archäologische Aufklärung
Die Zeitschrift für archäologische Aufklärung setzt sich zum Ziel, die Aktualität antiker Artefakte zu demonstrieren. Sie präzisiert Konzepte antiker Dingwelten, ihre Mechanismen sowie Regelsysteme und sucht im Trümmerhaufen der griechisch-römischen Antike nach Lösungen für die Aporien der Gegenwart. Als exemplarischem Testfall widmet sich das erste Heft einem Konzept, das in der Formierung der modernen Archäologie im Zeitalter der Aufklärung eine ebenso radikale wie essentielle Rolle spielte: Freiheit. Welches normative Spektrum dieses Begriffs transportieren antike Artefakte und Bilder durch ihre Funktionen und Aussagen? Objektbezogene Beiträge geben kritische Antworten.
Cambia la tua vita o affronta l’estinzione
Nulla è per sempre. Ogni specie vivente è destinata a estinguersi. L’estinzione accompagna la storia della Terra fin da quando, circa 3,7 miliardi di anni fa, il primo organismo unicellulare (Luca, Last universal common ancestor) fece la propria comparsa sul Pianeta. Oltre alle estinzioni di fondo usuali, tuttavia, la biostoria ha anche assistito a catastrofi globali durante le quali la biodiversità marina e terrestre è collassata. Si tratta delle cosiddette Big Five, le cinque grandi estinzioni di massa. La rapida perdita di biodiversità su scala globale alla quale stiamo assistendo ha spinto molti studiosi a metterci in guardia sui rischi di una Sesta estinzione di massa. In tale sc...
Oxford Handbook of Cognitive Archaeology
This book showcases the theories, methods, and accomplishments of archaeologists who investigate the human mind through material forms. It encompasses the wide spectrum of cognitive archeology, showcasing contributions from scholars globally. It delivers analysis of material culture, from stone tools to ceramic and rock art of the past millennium.
Cognitive Linguistics and Language Evolution
The evolution of language has developed into a large research field. Two questions are particularly relevant for this strand of research: firstly, how did the human capacity for language emerge? And secondly, which processes of cultural evolution are involved both in the evolution of human language from non-linguistic communication and in the continued evolution of human languages? Much research on language evolution that addresses these two questions is highly compatible with the usage-based approach to language pursued in cognitive linguistics. Focusing on key topics such as comparing human language and animal communication, experimental approaches to language evolution, and evolutionary dynamics in language, this Element gives an overview of the current state-of-the-art of language evolution research and discusses how cognitive linguistics and research on the evolution of language can cross-fertilise each other. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
Scienza e fede a confronto
Il rapporto tra scienza, filosofia e teologia si è ormai solidificato nel confronto tra discipline diverse, che si possono incontrare o ignorare, o farsi anche la guerra. È giunto il momento di dire che questo paradigma non porta da nessuna parte, ma alimenta solo singole posizioni o fenomeni massmediatici. Cosa succederebbe se, ripercorrendo la nascita della scienza moderna e il contributo che ha dato al cambiamento dell’immagine dell’uomo, del mondo e di Dio, scoprissimo che le tre branche del sapere prima citate non fossero altro che modalità tramite cui l’uomo può conoscere, dare significato e forma alla sua stessa vita? L’uomo, con la pratica della sua esistenza, torna al centro del discorso aprendo nuove possibilità. Evitando di assumere per ovvie certe posizioni metodologiche, chiudere in anticipo i contorni di cos’è reale, restituire un’idea di umanità che mal sopporta frettolose riduzioni, compresa la legittimità di porre la domanda su Dio.
Handbook of Research on Interdisciplinarity Between Science and Mathematics in Education
Working in an interdisciplinary manner is long pursued but a difficult goal of science and mathematics education. The interdisciplinarity of science and mathematics can occur when connections between those disciplines are identified and developed. These connections could be expressed in the educational policies, curriculum, or in the science and mathematics teachers educational practices. Sometimes those connections are scarce, but in other moments, full integration is achieved. The Handbook of Research on Interdisciplinarity Between Science and Mathematics in Education presents results of good practices and interdisciplinary educational approaches in science and mathematics. It presents a broad range of approaches for all educational levels, from kindergarten to university. Covering topics such as computer programming, mathematics in environmental issues, and simple machines, this major reference work is an excellent resource for administrators and educators of both K-12 and higher education, government officials, pre-service teachers, teacher educators, librarians, researchers, and academicians.
Bridges to Global Ethics
This book contributes to the current discussion on geoethics and global ethics within the geoscience and humanities communities. It provides new content and insights into developing convergent human actions in response to global anthropogenic changes, based on perspectives that make it possible to combine geoscience knowledge with humanities and social sciences approaches. Selected authors present their reflections, findings and insights regarding the vision of geoethics (ethics of responsibility towards the Earth) as global ethics from philosophical, humanities and social sciences perspectives. In addition, they discuss ethical frameworks from diverse cultural traditions, searching for points of intersection with geoethics. The goal: for global environmental problems to be managed via multi-perspective approaches that can more effectively accommodate complexity. Combining the strengths of the geosciences, humanities and social sciences can pave the way for a paradigm shift in how human societies develop adaptive, sustainable responses to environmental changes and societal inequalities.
Geoethics
This book outlines the current development of geoethical thinking, proposing to the general public reflections and categories useful for understanding the ethical, cultural, and societal dimensions of anthropogenic global changes. Geoethics identifies and orients responsible behaviors and actions in the management of natural processes, redefining the human interaction with the Earth system based on a critical, scientifically grounded, and pragmatic approach. Solid scientific knowledge and a philosophical reference framework are crucial to face the current ecological disruption. The scientific perspective must be structured to help different human contexts while respecting social and cultural...
