Evolutionary Epistemology
by Gerhard Vollmer
Description
— The seminal work reissued
— A science and philosophy classic
— On the occasion of the author's
80th birthday According to evolutionary epistemology, the fact that we can know the world is neither
coincidence nor divine providence, but has a natural explanation. Thinking and cognition are
achievements of the human brain. Our cognitive structures fit into our world because they have
evolved in adaptation to this world. This fit is not ideal, but it is enough for survival under
competition. Gerhard Vollmer was instrumental in developing evolutionary epistemology. In his
standard work, he explains the achievements and failures of our cognitive apparatus.
