  • Political Animals and the Genealogy of the Polis

    Open AccessDavid J DepewCHAPTERAristotle's Anthropology2019

    In Politics I 2, Aristotle claims that anthropos is a political animal ( zōon politikon ) and that indeed human beings are ‘more political animals than any kind of bee or any herd animal’ ( Pol. I 2, 1253a2–9). 1 These propositions serve as premises in his genealogy of the polis as natural in the same chapter. Accordingly, an appropriate test of what Aristotle means by zōon politikon is afforded by whether from a proposed definition his genealogy…

  • Darwinism, Democracy, and Race

    John P Jackson, David J DepewBOOKDarwinism, Democracy, and Race2017Cited by: 10

    Darwinism, Democracy, and Race examines the development and defence of an argument that arose at the boundary between anthropology and evolutionary biology in twentieth-century America. In its fully articulated form, this argument simultaneously discredited scientific racism and defended free human agency in Darwinian terms. The volume is timely because it gives readers a key to assessing contemporary debates about the biology of race. By working…

  • Why Aristotle says that Artful Rhetoric can happen in only a few Venues — and why we should too

    David Depew, David J DepewARTICLEPolis The Journal for Ancient…2013

    This paper explores a possible connection between Aristotle’s defence of rhetoric as an art and his claim that its three kinds, deliberative, forensic and epideictic, necessarily take place in sites where citizens appear to one another as citizens. The argument is that only in such sites, and hence only in poleis, can speakers and audiences distinguish the internal norms of this, and indeed any other, art from external effects that, although they…

  • Evolution and Learning

    Bernhard H F Weber, Bruce H Weber et al.EDITORBOOKEvolution and Learning: The…2003

    The role of genetic inheritance dominates current evolutionary theory. At the end of the nineteenth century, however, several evolutionary theorists independently speculated that learned behaviors could also affect the direction and rate of evolutionary change. This notion was called the Baldwin effect, after the psychologist James Mark Baldwin. In recent years, philosophers and theorists of a variety of ontological and epistemological background…

    David Depew, David J Depew et al.ARTICLEJournal of American History2001

    This book is a study of five “influential figures in twentieth century transatlantic” psychology: the American William James, the Viennese Otto Rank, the Swiss Ludwig Binswanger, the DanishGerman and later American Erik Erikson, and the British neurologist Oliver Sacks. What could they possibly have in common? They are all interested, Martin Halliwell reports, on how “narrative techniques expand the often impoverished repertoire of scientific lan…

  • Understanding Charles Sanders Peirce (In Some Ways)

    David Depew, David J Depew et al.ARTICLEReviews in American History1994

    This book has already received attention in part because it is the first comprehensive biography of one of America's greatest philosophers. It is also because its author was long prevented from working further on what began thirty years ago as a dissertation because he was denied access to, and permission to quote from, the materials he needed, which are owned by Harvard's justly famed Philosophy Department. Apparently, Brent was even told that h…
