Mad. Project Home Nick Home Geography Home UCSB Home The Increasingly Official Mary Midgley Webpage Update: 10/1/01 Links to online material added. The internet content-to-noise ratio is now a degree or two above absolute zero... In the interests of helping people see the point of philosophy, and of helping people to make sense of their lives in our confused world, this webpage has been set up to promote my favorite philosopher, Mary Midgley, and her works. Introduction Mary Midgley Originally of the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, now a widely-renowned philosopher, addressing topics such as: Moral philosophy Science and meaning Environmental ethics Evolution and our place in the biosphere Evolution, reductionism, and egoism Science and religion The point of philosophy What's hot: Mary, Mary, quite contrary " by Liz Else. A popular article title, it seems. Anyhow: " Mary Midgley is a woman on a mission. For two decades, Britain's most visible moral philosopher has laid into scientists who have tried to turn science into a religion. The big problem, says Midgley, is that it seduces people into believing in certainties and taking imperfect scientific metaphors as literal, revealed truth. Is it time to rethink science? Should we rename it? In her latest book, Midgley puts her money on Gaia as a guide. As she told Liz Else, Gaia might turn out to be that rare thingboth good science and good metaphor. Mary, Mary, quite contrary

Economics and Evolutionary Psychology* by David Friedman Evolutionary Psychology: The Short Version Evolutionary psychology starts from two simple assumptions: The human mind is best understood not as a general purpose computer but as a set of specialized software modules, each designed to deal with a particular subset of problems. Researchers in evolutionary psychology, starting with these assumptions, have generated and tested predictions ranging from differences in male and female special abilities to the timing of morning sickness. What Evolutionary Psychology Adds Evolutionary psychology adds two modifications to the rationality assumption. The first is an increase in its precision. Economists assume that individuals have objectives. But economic theory does not tell us what those objectives are, although observation and introspection provide at least a rough idea of what they are likely to be. Evolutionary biologists, on the other hand, know the objective of genes A true phyloprogenitive gene, one that made reproductive success a high priority of every individual, would confer an enormous reproductive advantage on its carriers and rapidly spread through the population. The absence of such a gene is presumably due to the difficulty of such precise programming of an organism as complicated as a human being, plus the short time that has passed since the developments that make that tactic for reproductive success so much superior to less direct approaches.

An Essay on Evolutionary Psychology (Sociobiology) and the Meaning of Life April 16, 1997- Feb 12, 2001 (corrections: September 6, 2001) Web site created: Feb 16, 2001 evo_psych@yahoo.com Essay Sections: Introduction The Mind is the Body Hardware vs. Software: A Crude Analogy On Free Will ... References and Links Introduction Since the publication of Charles Darwin's "The Origin of Species" The Mind is the Body Mental ailments were once distinguished either as psychological or neurological disorders. Media reports of new scientific studies, though, are now routinely rife with a blurring in the distinction between the two. Increasingly, behavioral problems like compulsive gambling, alcoholism, drug addiction, anorexia, violence (and other criminal behavior) are now being linked to physiological "disorders" in the human brain. To be blunt, though, the traditional distinction between the "mind" and body (brain) has always been suspect (possibly even ludicrous). It's simply been the case that the physical mechanisms of the brain have never been understood unlike, say, the heart or kidney. The human brain has been and remains the ultimate "black box" in medicine and engineering. And this is no surprise, since the most complex, modern supercomputer, which can only now be understood barely on a system-level by an individual, remains a "tinker-toy" compared to the human brain let alone, say, the brain of a cockroach. In fact, understanding all aspects of the human brain may simply be beyond human understanding. The remarkable progress seen in technology, particularly in the semiconductor IC industry, is misleading: some people now think "nothing's impossible" anymore. However, despite all of the "miraculous" progress of the 20th century, there are and always will be fundamental limitations. Some things are impossible and will remain so, no matter how much scientific progress we make (e.g., fundamental thermodynamic constraints).

Email to a friend Exchange Evolutionary Psychology: An Exchange By Harold Kalant Steven Pinker Werner Kalow , Reply by Stephen Jay Gould In response to Darwinian Fundamentalism June 12, 1997 To the Editors Evolutionary psychology is the attempt to understand our mental faculties in light of the evolutionary processes that shaped them. Stephen Jay Gould [ NYR , June 12 and June 26] calls its ideas and their proponents "foolish," "fatuous," "pathetic," "egregiously simplistic," and some twenty-five synonyms for "fanatical." Such language is not just discourteous; it is misguided, for the ideas of evolutionary psychology are not as stupid as Gould makes them out to be. Indeed, they are nothing like what Gould makes them out to be. So where's the controversy? Gould claims his targets invoke selection to explain everything indiscriminate pluralists. Gould blurs his own distinction when he writes, It shouldn't, of course, but then most researchers aren't trying to explain the entire "complex and various world." Many of them are should In the case of the human brain, Gould accuses evolutionary psychologists of ignoring an alternative:

The inequity of inequality: egalitarian instincts and evolutionary psychology. BG Charlton Journal of Health Psychology, 1997; 2: 413-425 Injustice, inequality and Evolutionary Psychology Bruce G Charlton MD bruce.charlton@ncl.ac.uk Reader in Evolutionary Psychiatry Department of Psychology University of Newcastle upon Tyne England Editor-in-Chief, Medical Hypotheses ABSTRACT Injustice, inequality and Evolutionary Psychology Introduction This paper is intended to provide an explanation for some apparently puzzling observations. Humans evolved in an egalitarian society - a society where resources (principally food) were shared equally: it seems that humans were "designed" to live in egalitarian societies. Yet all modern day economic systems demonstrate a markedly unequal distribution of resources. And, despite universal inequality for hundreds or even thousands of years, political creeds such as socialism still command substantial support for their egalitarian ideals. One might imagine that human experience would by now regard inequality as inevitable, yet apparently humans still do not accept inequality, nor have they fully adjusted to it. I will argue that these observations are a consequence of universal, evolved "human nature" interacting with different environmental circumstances. Human nature is approached from a biological standpoint - specifically from the viewpoint of Evolutionary Psychology (Barkow
