商品描述
It is not uncommon to see in major areas of research concerned with science that historical studies are accompanied by the rise of complementary or contradictory historiographies. With time, it seems, scholars discover new approaches to study topics, thus questioning old concepts, traditions, periodizations and historical labels. Apparently, this has not been the case in evolutionary thought. In that area, the main historiographic labels such as Darwinian Revolution, Eclipse of Darwinism, and Modern Synthesis have been in place and largely uncontested for about 50 years. Such labels seem to work as irrefutable, and often hidden, premises of many historical reconstructions, philosophical analyses, and scientific conceptualizations.
This volume aims to move beyond this state of affair, opening new thinking avenues by revisiting the traditional historiography and laying the groundwork for establishing a "new historiography" that considers the intertwined threads that compose evolutionary biology. Notably, evolutionary studies seem to have been marked by the tension between unification attempts and the proliferation of approaches, methodologies, and styles of thinking. As the contributors to this volume illustrate, research traditions branched off throughout the history of evolutionary thought, before and after Charles Darwin. The resulting complexity challenges traditional thinking categories, throwing a somewhat different light on a more recent label like the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis. More than 40 years after the now classic, The Evolutionary Synthesis: Perspectives on the Unification of Biology (1980), edited by Ernst Mayr and William Provine, the contributors to this volume aim to reevaluate where evolutionary biology stands today.商品描述(中文翻譯)
在科學相關的主要研究領域中，歷史研究常常伴隨著互補或矛盾的歷史學說的興起並不罕見。隨著時間的推移，學者們似乎發現了研究主題的新方法，從而質疑舊有的概念、傳統、時期劃分和歷史標籤。顯然，在進化思想的領域中，這種情況並不存在。在這個領域，主要的歷史學標籤如達爾文革命（Darwinian Revolution）、達爾文主義的日蝕（Eclipse of Darwinism）和現代綜合（Modern Synthesis）已經存在並且在大約50年內基本上沒有受到挑戰。這些標籤似乎作為許多歷史重建、哲學分析和科學概念化的不可辯駁且常常隱藏的前提。
本書旨在超越這種現狀，通過重新審視傳統歷史學，開啟新的思考途徑，為建立一種考慮進化生物學交織線索的「新歷史學」奠定基礎。值得注意的是，進化研究似乎受到統一嘗試與方法、方法論和思維風格的繁多之間的緊張關係的影響。正如本書的貢獻者所示，研究傳統在達爾文之前和之後的進化思想歷史中分支發展。由此產生的複雜性挑戰了傳統的思維類別，為像擴展進化綜合（Extended Evolutionary Synthesis）這樣的較新標籤提供了不同的視角。
在恩斯特·邁爾（Ernst Mayr）和威廉·普羅維恩（William Provine）編輯的經典著作《進化綜合：生物學統一的視角》（The Evolutionary Synthesis: Perspectives on the Unification of Biology，1980）發表40多年後，本書的貢獻者旨在重新評估當前進化生物學的地位。
