Evolution's Eye by Susan Oyama

Evolution's Eye by Susan Oyama

Suitable for students and scholars who work in the fields of evolution, psychology, human biology, and philosophy of science, this book elaborates on author's work on developmental systems by spelling out that work's implications for the fields of evolutionary theory, developmental and social psychology, feminism, and epistemology.

“Oyama writes elegantly and from a deep intellectual baseThis alternative view to the dominant genetic determinism will be of interest to all who seek a more complex view of human nature. It is an excellent book, beautifully composed.”-Katherine Nelson, City University of New York “Susan Oyama's Ontogeny of Information provided a navigational chart for researchers seeking to avoid the shoals of the nature-nurture dichotomy. Here, in Evolution's Eye, she good-humoredly unmasks the rhetorical stratagems of reflexive genecentrism, while continuing to strengthen the case for the integrative, multifocal approach of developmental systems theory.”-Helen E. Longino, University of Minnesota “To think of nature and nurture as two distinct categories is not only wrong, Susan Oyama convincingly argues, but doing so hobbles our attempts to understand the nature of development and evolution at every level. Hers is a voice that needs to be heard.”-Evelyn Fox Keller, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Susan Oyama is Professor of Psychology at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice and the Graduate School and University Center, City University of New York. Her book The Ontogeny of Information is also published by Duke University Press.
