DARWIN-AND-DARWINISM
New egroup REPLACING darwin-and-darwinism@sheffield.ac.uk
darwin-and-darwinism@egroups.com
There has been for some time an email forum with this name at
sheffield.ac.uk The moderators decided to move it to a more convenient
host
at eGroups.com, but the old site and its subscriber list got deleted
before
the (179) subscribers could be moved _en bloc_.,  We therefore ask old
subscribers, as well as new people interested in the topics mentioned
below, to subscribe anew: see end of message for instructions.
This is is a forum for discussion of any and all matters concerned with
evolution. This means Darwin, his life and theories, Darwinian
scholarship,
including other approaches to evolution in the past and present. It is
also
intended to include findings, debates, concepts and philosophical
disscussions about Darwinian ideas in other disciplines, including, for
example, Darwinian psychology, social science, psychiatry,
psychotherapy,
psychoanalysis, epistemology and the relevance of  Darwinism to moral,
cultural, social, political and ideological matters.
One of the aims of the forum is to provide a place where different
disciplines and points of view which often do not make much contact can
debate in a single space. This means that sharp disagreements are very
likely. The forum leaders are determined that these will be condicted in
a
civil manner.
