Ontogeny of Information: Developmental Systems and Evolution

In The Ontogeny of Information, Susan Oyama draws on psychology, biology, and anthropology, as well as philosophy and history, to explore the many facets of the nature-nurture debate. Our deepest beliefs about what is natural, inevitable and unchangeable, what is normal and good, are affected by our concept of biological nature. Because the nonacademic world also continues to frame important questions in terms of genetic necessity and cultural overlay, this distinction between nature and culture has serious implications for the conduct of private, lives and for the making of public policy.Oyama, Susan is the author of 'Ontogeny of Information: Developmental Systems and Evolution', published 1986 under ISBN 9780521312578 and ISBN 0521312574.
