We’re continuing our discussion on whether a rigorous, formalized account of Darwinism is possible. Our reading for this week is Samir Okasha & C. Paternotte’s “Group adaptation, formal darwinism and contextual analysis.” They discuss and contextualize Grafen’s formal darwinism approach to group selection. Several papers on this subject by people in this group have been sent about in the past week, so this promises to be an interesting meeting.
We will meet tomorrow, March 5 at 7:30 p.m. in the West Duke Building on East Campus. Drinks will be available.
