The connection is a bustling two-way street. In one direction, philosophers of biology make significant contributions to theoretical discussions about the nature of evolution (such as \"What is a species?\"; \"What is reproductive fitness?\"; \"Does selection operate primarily on genes?\"; and \"What is an evolutionary function?\"). In the other direction, a broader group of philosophers appeal to Darwinian selection in an attempt to illuminate traditional philosophical puzzles (such as \"How could a brain-state have representational content?\"; \"Are moral judgments justified?\"; \"Why do we enjoy fiction?\"; and \"Are humans invariably selfish?\"). In grappling with these questions, this interdisciplinary collection includes cutting-edge examples from both directions of traffic. The thirty contributions, written exclusively for this volume, are divided into six sections: The Nature of Selection; Evolution and Information; Human Nature; Evolution and Mind; Evolution and Ethics; and Evolution, Aesthetics, and Art. Many of the contributing philosophers and psychologists are international leaders in their fields.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRichard Joyce\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Philosophy at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand.
