This review is from: Evolution's Eye: A Systems View of the Biology-Culture Divide (Science and Cultural Theory) (Paperback)
This is a collection of essays that advances the interesting arguments of Oyama's earlier work: `The ontogeny of information'. Oyama helps us to rethink in subtle and complex ways the concepts of `biology', `inheritance', `nature', `evolution', and so on and she also reconfigures the relationships between them. Together the reworkings of these ideas provide a sophisticated framework which eschews various forms of reductionism and determinism whilst emphasising contingency, history, and complexity. Her discussions of developmental systems are essential reading for anyone seeking a more complex way of engaging with the complexity of life and our understanding of it.
