Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Cziko Shows How The Lessons Of Bernard And Darwin, Updated With The Best Of Current Scientific Knowledge, Can Provide Solutions To Certain Longstanding Theoretical And Practical Problems In Behavioral Science And Enable Us To Develop New Methods And Topics For Research.The Remarkable Achievements That Modern Science Has Made In Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Medicine, And Engineering Contrast Sharply With Our Limited Knowledge Of The Human Mind And Behavior. A Major Reason For This Slow Progress, Claims Gary Cziko, Is That With Few Exceptions, Behavioral And Cognitive Scientists Continue To Apply A Newtonianinspired View Of Animate Behavior As An Organism'S Output Determined By Environmental Input. This Oneway Causeeffect Approach Ignores The Important Findings Of Two Major Nineteenthcentury Biologists, French Physiologist Claude Bernard And English Naturalist Charles Darwin.Approaching Living Organisms As Purposeful Systems That Behave In Order To Control Their Perceptions Of The External Environment Provides A New Perspective For Understanding What, Why, And How Living Things, Including Humans, Do What They Do. Cziko Examines In Particular Perceptual Control Theory, Which Has Its Roots In Bernard'S Work On The Selfregulating Nature Of Living Organisms And In The Work Of Engineers Who Developed The Field Of Cybernetics During And After World War Ii. He Also Shows How Our Evolutionary Past Together With Darwinian Processes Currently Occurring Within Our Bodies, Such As The Evolution Of New Brain Connections, Provide Insights Into The Immediate And Ultimate Causes Of Behavior.Writing In An Accessible Style, Cziko Shows How The Lessons Of Bernard And Darwin, Updated With The Best Of Current Scientific Knowledge, Can Provide Solutions To Certain Longstanding Theoretical And Practical Problems In Behavioral Science And Enable Us To Develop New Methods And Topics For Research.
