Abstract

In recent years, evolutionary theorists have come to recognize that the reductionist, individualist, gene-centered approach to evolution cannot sufficiently account for the emergence of complex biological systems over time. Peter A. Corning has been at the forefront of a new generation of complexity theorists who have been working to reshape the foundations of evolutionary theory. Well known for his Synergism Hypothesis& a theory of complexity in evolution that assigns a key causal role to various forms of functional synergy& Corning puts this theory into a much broader framework in 'Holistic Darwinism', addressing many of the issues and concepts associated with the evolution of complex systems. Corning's paradigm embraces and integrates many related theoretical developments of recent years, from multilevel selection theory to niche construction theory, gene-culture coevolution theory, and theories of self-organization. Offering new approaches to thermodynamics, information theory, and economic analysis, Corning suggests how all of these domains can be brought firmly within what he characterizes as a post& neo-Darwinian evolutionary synthesis.

Abstract

Culture is a unique and fascinating aspect of the human species. How did it emerge and how does it develop? Richard Dawkins suggested culture evolves and that memes are cultural replicators, subject to variation and selection in the same way as genes are in the biological world. Thus human culture is the product of a mindless evolutionary algorithm. Does this imply, as some have argued, that we are mere meme machines and that the conscious self is an illusion? This highly readable and accessible book extends Dawkins's theory, presenting for the first time a fully developed concept of cultural DNA. Distin argues that culture's development can be seen as the result of memetic evolution and as the product of human creativity. Memetic evolution is perfectly compatible with the view of humans as conscious and intelligent. This book should find a wide readership amongst philosophers, psychologists, sociologists and non-academic readers.

Abstract

Garanti par l'article 8 de la Convention européenne des droits de l'homme, le " droit au respect de la vie privée " a été singulièrement développé par la jurisprudence de la Cour européenne des droits de l'homme. Mais la signification et la portée de ce droit restent, pour une large part, indéterminées tant sa diversité -du droit au secret au droit de vivre dans un environnement sain, en passant par la liberté de la vie sexuelle, la " vie privée sociale " ou le droit à l'autonomie personnelle- paraît défier toute tentative de systématisation. Préciser le sens du " droit au respect de la vie privée " -et d'abord de la notion même de " vie privée "-, prendre la mesure des conditions d'exercice de ce droit, apprécier la pertinence de la jurisprudence européenne dans une perspective comparatiste, tel est l'objet du colloque organisé par l'IDEDH, en novembre 2004, à la Faculté de droit de Montpellier, avec la collaboration de spécialistes éminents.
