45. Individualism And Evolutionary Psychology INDIVIDUALISM AND evolutionary psychology (OR IN DEFENSE OF NARROW FUNCTIONS)DAVID J. BULLER †. Department of Philosophy Northern Illinois University. http://cogprints.ecs.soton.ac.uk/archive/00000328/00/indy&ep.htm

INDIVIDUALISM AND EVOLUTIONARY PSYCHOLOGY (OR: IN DEFENSE OF "NARROW" FUNCTIONS) DAVID J. BULLER Department of Philosophy Northern Illinois University Abstract. Millikan (1993) and Wilson (1994) argue, for different reasons, that the essential reference to the environment in adaptationist explanations of behavior makes (psychological) individualism inconsistent with evolutionary psychology. I show that their arguments are based on misinterpretations of the role of reference to the environment in such explanations. By exploring these misinterpretations, I develop an account of explanation in evolutionary psychology that is fully consistent with individualism. This does not, however, constitute a full-fledged defense of individualism, since evolutionary psychology is only one explanatory paradigm among many in psychology. 1. Introduction. Psychological individualism is the principle that an individual's psychological states supervene on that individual's (current) internal physical states. Although individualism can appear to be an ontological thesis, it is actually a methodological constraint on psychological explanation deriving from a commitment to causal explanations of behavior. The idea is this. Conditions in an individual's external environment either have had an effect on that individual's internal states or have not. If they have not, they could not have had an effect on the behavior produced by that individual; so they are explanatorily irrelevant. If they have, then their effect on the individual's behavior has been mediated by their effect on internal states. However, since precisely

In the interests of helping people see the point of philosophy, and of helping people to make sense of their lives in our confused world, this webpage has been set up to promote my favorite philosopher, Mary Midgley, and her works. Introduction Mary Midgley Originally of the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, now a widely-renowned philosopher, addressing topics such as: Moral philosophy Science and meaning Environmental ethics Evolution and our place in the biosphere Evolution, reductionism, and egoism Science and religion The point of philosophy What's hot: Mary, Mary, quite contrary " by Liz Else. A popular article title, it seems. Anyhow: " Mary Midgley is a woman on a mission. For two decades, Britain's most visible moral philosopher has laid into scientists who have tried to turn science into a religion. The big problem, says Midgley, is that it seduces people into believing in certainties and taking imperfect scientific metaphors as literal, revealed truth. Is it time to rethink science? Should we rename it? In her latest book, Midgley puts her money on Gaia as a guide. As she told Liz Else, Gaia might turn out to be that rare thingboth good science and good metaphor.

Notebooks Evolutionary psychology (Wed Feb 18 11:44:19 1998) Someday we'll live on Venus And men will walk on Mars But we will still be monkeys Down deep inside The study of how our minds have evolved, and the traces left by that evolution. The most important seems to be that we don't have a general, content-neutral intelligence, but a gang or collection of specialized intelligences bent and stretched into unnatural poses for things like math. Logically, all this is quite separate from the question of whether or not we use evolutionary processes in our thinking, whether the mind is a Darwin machine, but I think all the advocates of the latter support evolutionary psychology as well. It should be obvious that, if we have inherited a tendency or bias towards Q from our ancestors, this doesn't mean we should Q, and everyone accepts this without question when it comes to logic and reasoning. Certain popularizers (e.g. Gazzaniga, and especially Wright) forget this when it comes to things like the relations between the sexes: predictable, but depressing nonetheless. (Finding an evolutionary explanation for this bias is left as an exercise for the student.) Fortunately Pinker is an excellent corrective to this. Cf.

The inequity of inequality: egalitarian instincts and evolutionary psychology. BG Charlton Journal of Health Psychology, 1997; 2: 413-425 Injustice, inequality and Evolutionary Psychology Bruce G Charlton MD bruce.charlton@ncl.ac.uk Department of Psychology University of Newcastle upon Tyne England ABSTRACT Injustice, inequality and Evolutionary Psychology Introduction This paper is intended to provide an explanation for some apparently puzzling observations. Humans evolved in an egalitarian society - a society where resources (principally food) were shared equally: it seems that humans were "designed" to live in egalitarian societies. Yet all modern day economic systems demonstrate a markedly unequal distribution of resources. And, despite universal inequality for hundreds or even thousands of years, political creeds such as socialism still command substantial support for their egalitarian ideals. One might imagine that human experience would by now regard inequality as inevitable, yet apparently humans still do not accept inequality, nor have they fully adjusted to it. I will argue that these observations are a consequence of universal, evolved "human nature" interacting with different environmental circumstances. Human nature is approached from a biological standpoint - specifically from the viewpoint of Evolutionary Psychology (Barkow

The required core course for this minor, The Design of the Mind: Genes, Adaptation, and Behavior T he major focus of the Ethology and Evolutionary Psychology Program is research, and graduate students are expected to spend the majority of their time in its pursuit. It is not essential that new students work directly on projects currently underway, though most find it helpful to at least start this way. Current Research Projects Invertebrate Psychology Laboratory Development of invertebrate models for both research and instructional applications in comparative psychobiology. Behavioral principles studied include orthokinesis, klinokinesis, chemotaxis, tropotaxis, phototaxis, optomotor anemotaxis, unconditioned reflexes, sequenced fixed action patterns, olfactory and acoustic communication, social dominance, habituation and sensitization, classical and instrumental conditioning, behavioral genetics and behavioral laterality. Invertebrate taxa utilized include ciliates, coelenterates, nematodes, planaria, mollusks, aquatic and terrestrial arthropods. Ongoing research into associative and nonassociative conditioning of semiochemical and bioacoustic responsiveness in insects, including the development of (a) the foraging, stinging and feeding responses to prey kairomones in parasitoid wasps, (b) the orienting, courting and mating responses to sex pheromones in moths, (c) the acoustic sexual communication and associated spatial abilities in crickets.

related texts [Last updated 10 May 2002] Evolutionary psychology (EP): innate vs. learned 1.abstract Evolutionary psychology (EP) is an emerging branch of anthropology and psychology, which have been gaining ground lately. A fundamental tenet of EP is that large part of psychology is innate, as opposed to learned, to the point of rejecting the concept of "learning" altogether (e.g. 3.2.7 below). Here I discuss the evidence and arguments that are used in EP for the innateness of psychological traits. Layout of the text In section [2] I outline the main arguments for and against innateness and learning. In section [3] I analyse general discussions of the EP approach. These come from 'The Adapted Mind' by Barkow, cosmides and Tooby (1992), which at the time of writing was the most prominent book in EP, and an earlier chapter by the same authors. Here I discuss only those articles and chapters that touch on the point of learning. In section [4] I discuss specific chapters from 'The Adapted Mind'. In section [5] I discuss other examples. The reader should note that in the text in sections [3-5] I am not intending to bring evidence against innateness. The evidence against innateness is outlined in [2.2] below. What I am trying to show in sections [3-5] is that the evidence

Ketelaar And Ellis Have Provided A Remarkably Clear And Succinct Statement Of La Ketelaar and Ellis have provided a remarkably clear and succinct statement of Lakatosian philosophy Category Science Social Sciences Publications Articles......Prediction and Accommodation in evolutionary psychology How does Lakatos' understandingof the structure of science apply to evolutionary psychology? http://philosophy.wisc.edu/forster/papers/Lakatos.htm

Prediction and Accommodation in Evolutionary Psychology Malcolm Forster Department of Philosophy Lawrence Shapiro Department of Philosophy Note : If you want to print this article, then there is a PDF version , which will print better. Ketelaar and Ellis have provided a remarkably clear and succinct statement of Lakatosian philosophy of science and have also argued compellingly that the neo-Darwinian theory of evolution fills the Lakatosian criteria of progressivity. We find ourselves in agreement with much of what Ketelaar and Ellis say about Lakatosian philosophy of science, but have some questions about (1) the place of evolutionary psychology in a Lakatosian framework, and (2) the extent to which evolutionary psychology truly predicts new findings. Lakatos, as Ketelaar and Ellis observe, conceives of research programs as having two levels: a hard core consisting of fundamental meta-theoretical assumptions and a protective belt containing auxiliary assumptions. Together, the hard core and the protective belt produce hypotheses and predictions that, ultimately, can confirm or disconfirm the assumptions in the hard core. Typically, however, failed predictions do not call into question the meta-theoretical assumptions of the hard core. This is so, for hypotheses and predictions derive from the hard core and the auxiliary assumptions of the protective belt. Consequently, given recalcitrant data, one can always place the blame on the assumptions in the protective belt, leaving untarnished the meta-theoretical assumptions of the hard core. It is only when the protective belt begins to function simply as a device for explaining away anomalies and does little by way of generating new predictions that the time comes to suspect the assumptions of the hard core.
