The Whole Creature: Complexity, Biosemiotics and the Evolution of Culture

Description

This grand synthesis is a powerful resource with which to take forward and blend the humane understanding of sociality with our scientific understanding of the world. It is perhaps no accident that the cover pictures of The Whole Creature and Dennett's Freedom Evolves both feature the wonderfully organised patterns that appear as birds flock together. The individual actions of the parts give an intentionality to the whole. They are both signs that we have left the age of reduction and entered the age of emergence.

Drawing on the new field of complex adaptive systems and biosemiotics, this groundbreaking synthesis of evolutionary and cultural theory argues that--far from being opposed to nature--culture is the way that nature has evolved in human beings. This major contribution to both cultural studies and ecocriticism shows how complexity and biosemiotics forge the link between nature and culture, and provide a new and better understanding of how the whole human creature operates as both a social and biological being.
