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.\n                \n                \u003cp\u003e\n                                        \n                    \u003ci\u003eEpistemological Dimensions of Evolutionary Psychology\u003c\/i\u003e\n                                         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: \n                \n                \u003c\/p\u003e\n                                \n                \u003cul\u003e\n                                        \n                    \u003cli\u003eToward a cognitive philosophy of science.\u003c\/li\u003e\n                                        \n                    \u003cli\u003eEvolutionary media psychology and its epistemological foundation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n                                        \n                    \u003cli\u003eThe \"meme\" meme revisited.\u003c\/li\u003e\n                                        \n                    \u003cli\u003eDepression as an adaptation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n                                        \n                    \u003cli\u003eLike me: a homophily-based account of human culture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n                                        \n                    \u003cli\u003ePreparedness to learn about the world: evidence from infant research.\u003c\/li\u003e\n                                    \n                \u003c\/ul\u003e\n                                \n                \u003cp\u003e\n                                        An engaging and often controversial testament to the combined power of evolution and logic, \n                    \n                    \u003ci\u003eEpistemological Dimensions of Evolutionary Psychology\u003c\/i\u003e\n                                         will intrigue philosophers as well as psychologists in a variety of subdisciplines.\n                \n                \u003c\/p\u003e\n                            \n            \u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9781493913862\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9781493944262\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover - 9781493913862","offer_id":40570878066781,"sku":"9781493913862","price":106.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Softcover - 9781493944262","offer_id":39417245237341,"sku":"9781493944262","price":106.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/f86ff3f4-87cb-4626-821e-1e41f5f70d63.jpg?v=1775189831","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/epistemological-dimensions-of-evolutionary-psychology-von-thiemo-breyer-hrsg","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
