A Critical Assessment of Christoph Türcke?s Philosophy of Dreams. 330 $aAs psychology and philosophy arose as answers to the eternal question of how the mind works, evolutionary psychology has gained ground over recent years as a link between cognitive-behavioral and natural-science theories of the mind. This provocative field has also gathered a wide range of criticisms, from attributing too much autonomy to the brain to basing itself on faulty assumptions about our prehistoric past. Epistemological Dimensions of Evolutionary Psychology reframes its discipline for the contemporary era, correcting common misconceptions and mediating between different schools of thought. By focusing on the nature and limits of knowledge and reasoning?the essence of epistemology?contributors offer fresh insights at the intersection of human cognitive abilities as adaptations and our self-perception of knowledge, including evolutionary perspectives on altruism, depression, or the phasing out of human sacrifice. This diversity strengthens and vindicates the field, as evinced by thought-provoking dispatches such as: Toward a cognitive philosophy of science. Evolutionary media psychology and its epistemological foundation. The ?meme? meme revisited. Depression as an adaptation. Like me: a homophily-based account of human culture. Preparedness to learn about the world: evidence from infant research. An engaging and often controversial testament to the combined power of evolution and logic, Epistemological Dimensions of Evolutionary Psychology will intrigue philosophers as well as psychologists in a variety of subdisciplines. 606 $aCognitive psychology 606 $aPhilosophy and science 606 $aBiological psychology 606 $aCognitive Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20060 606 $aPhilosophy of Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E34000 606 $aBiological Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20020 615 0$aCognitive psychology. 615 0$aPhilosophy and science. 615 0$aBiological psychology. 615 14$aCognitive Psychology. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Science. 615 24$aBiological Psychology. 676 $a150 676 $a153 676 $a155.7 676 $a501 702 $aBreyer$b Thiemo$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910304133403321 996 $aEpistemological Dimensions of Evolutionary Psychology$92227732 997 $aUNINA
