{"product_id":"revisiting-the-origin-of-species","title":"Revisiting the Origin of Species","description":"\u003cp\u003eContemporary interest in Darwin rises from a general ideal of what Darwin’s books ought to contain: a theory of transformation of species by natural selection. However, a reader opening Darwin’s masterpiece, \u003ci\u003eOn the Origin of Species\u003c\/i\u003e, today may be struck by the fact that this \"selectionist\" view does not deliver the key to many aspects of the book. Without contesting the importance of natural selection to Darwinism, much less supposing that a fully-formed \"Darwinism\" stepped out of Darwin’s head in 1859, this innovative volume aims to return to the text of the Origin itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRevisiting the 'Origin of Species' focuses on Darwin as theorising on the origin of variations; showing that Darwin himself was never a pan-selectionist (in contrast to some of his followers) but was concerned with \"other means of modification\" (which makes him an evolutionary pluralist). Furthermore, in contrast to common textbook presentations of \"Darwinism\", Hoquet stresses the fact that \u003ci\u003eOn the Origin of Species\u003c\/i\u003e can lend itself to several contradictory interpretations. Thus, this volume identifies where rival interpretations have taken root; to unearth the ambiguities readers of Darwin have latched onto as they have produced a myriad of Darwinian legacies, each more or less faithful enough to the originator’s thought. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmphasising the historical features, complexities and intricacies of Darwin’s argument,\u003ci\u003e Revisiting the 'Origin of Species'\u003c\/i\u003e can be used by any lay readers opening Darwin’s \u003ci\u003eOn the Origin of Species\u003c\/i\u003e. This volume will also appeal to students and researchers interested in areas such as Evolution, Natural Selection, Scientific Translations and Origins of Life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54256763175256,"sku":"9780367360054","price":58.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780367360054.jpg?v=1769030115","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/revisiting-the-origin-of-species","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
