商品描述

The book presents an original synthesizing framework on the relations between 'the biological' and 'the social'. Within these relations, the late nineteenth-century emergence of social sciences aspiring to be constituted as autonomous, as 'scientific' disciplines, is described, analyzed and explained. Through this framework, the author points to conceptual and constructive commonalities conjoining significant founding figures - Lamarck, Spencer, Hughlings Jackson, Ribot, Durkheim, Freud - who were not grouped nor analyzed in this manner before. Thus, the book offers a rather unique synthesis of the interactions of the social, the mental, and the evolutionary biological - Spencerian Lamarckism and/or Neo-Lamarckism - crystallizing into novel fields. It adds substantially to the understanding of the complexities of evolutionary debates during the last quarter of the nineteenth century. It will attract the attention of a wide spectrum of specialists, academics, and postgraduates in European history of the nineteenth century, history and philosophy of science, and history of biology and of the social sciences, including psychology.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書提出了一個關於「生物學」和「社會學」之間關係的原創綜合框架。在這些關係中，描述、分析和解釋了19世紀末期社會科學的出現，這些社會科學試圖成為獨立的、「科學的」學科。通過這個框架，作者指出了重要的創始人 - Lamarck、Spencer、Hughlings Jackson、Ribot、Durkheim、Freud - 之間的概念和建設性共同點，這種分析方式以前並未被組織或分析過。因此，這本書提供了一種相當獨特的綜合，涉及社會、心理和進化生物學之間的互動 - Spencerian Lamarckism和/或Neo-Lamarckism - 形成新領域。它在理解19世紀末期進化辯論的複雜性方面做出了重大貢獻。它將吸引廣泛範圍的專家、學者和歐洲19世紀歷史、科學史和生物學和社會科學史（包括心理學）的研究生的注意。
