Designed as an introduction to their ideas, this book concentrates on the Brethren's writings, analyzing the impact on them of thinkers such as Pythagoras, Plato, Aristotle and the Neoplatonists. Ian Netton traces the influences of Judaism and Christianity, and controversially this book argues that the Brethren of Purity did not belong to the Ismaili branch of Islam as is generally believed.Islamic philosophyPhilosophy, MedievalElectronic books.Islamic philosophy.Philosophy, Medieval.181.07Netton Ian Richard614797FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910453554703321Muslim neoplatonists1194271UNINA04339nam 2200685 450 991082796240332120210429194645.00-231-15317-10-231-52675-X10.7312/eldr15316(CKB)2670000000591498(OCoLC)905917338(CaPaEBR)ebrary11024408(SSID)ssj0001421071(PQKBManifestationID)12625100(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001421071(PQKBWorkID)11422957(PQKB)10374195(StDuBDS)EDZ0001133088(MiAaPQ)EBC1912257(DE-B1597)458314(OCoLC)979742371(DE-B1597)9780231526753(Au-PeEL)EBL1912257(CaPaEBR)ebr11024408(CaONFJC)MIL709029(OCoLC)902419276(EXLCZ)99267000000059149820150306h20152015 uy 0engur|||||||||||txtccrEternal ephemera adaptation and the Origin of species, from the nineteenth century, through punctuated equilibria and beyond /Niles Eldredge ; cover designer, Lisa HammNew York, [New York] :Columbia University Press,2015.©20151 online resource (399 p.)Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph1-322-77747-0 0-231-15316-3 Includes bibliographical references and index.Front matter --CONTENTS --Preface --Acknowledgments --INTRODUCTION --I.

The origin, extinction, and evolution of species-interconnected in the web of life as "eternal ephemera"-are the concern of evolutionary biology. In this riveting work, renowned paleontologist Niles Eldredge follows leading thinkers as they have wrestled for more than two hundred years with the eternal skein of life composed of ephemeral beings, revitalizing evolutionary science with their own, more resilient findings. Eldredge begins in France with the naturalist Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, who in 1801 first framed the overarching question about the emergence of new species. The Italian geologist Giambattista Brocchi followed, bringing in geology and paleontology to expand the question. In 1825, at the University of Edinburgh, Robert Grant and Robert Jameson introduced the astounding ideas formulated by Lamarck and Brocchi to a young medical student named Charles Darwin. Who can doubt that Darwin left for his voyage on the Beagle in 1831 filled with thoughts about these daring new explanations for the "transmutation" of species. Eldredge revisits Darwin's early insights into evolution in South America and his later synthesis of knowledge into a theory of the origin of species. He then considers the ideas of more recent evolutionary thinkers, such as George Gaylord Simpson, Ernst Mayr, and Theodosius Dobzhansky, as well as the young and brash Niles Eldredge and Steven Jay Gould, who set science afire with their concept of punctuated equilibria. Filled with insights into evolutionary biology and told with a rich affection for the scientific arena, this book celebrates the organic, vital relationship between scientific thinking and its subjects.Punctuated equilibrium (Evolution)Evolution (Biology)PhilosophyEmergence (Philosophy)Punctuated equilibrium (Evolution)Evolution (Biology)Philosophy.Emergence (Philosophy)576.8/2Eldredge Niles35208Hamm LisaMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910827962403321Eternal ephemera4038090UNINA
