The Imagined World Made Real: Towards a Natural Science of CultureRutgers University Press, 2003 - 300 من الصفحات Can the insights of science provide a proper understanding of human culture, or must we leave the analysis of culture to the so-called humanities? The Imagined World Made Real changes this by showing how a grasp of human evolution extends the reach of science. Henry Plotkin recognizes that at the heart of human culture are social constructs, such as justice and money, and that collective beliefs, values, and actions are essential to their formation and maintenance. Only when these constructs are integrated into an accepted biological framework will there be a true synthesis between the social and natural sciences. |
