Full House: The Spread of Excellence from Plato to Darwin | Stephen Jay Gould

2 posts | 4 read | 4 to read

Gould shows why a more accurate way of understanding our world is to look at a given subject within its own context, to see it as a part of a spectrum of variation and then to reconceptualize trends as expansion or contraction of this “full house” of variation, and not as the progress or degeneration of an average value, or single thing.

Full House: The Spread of Excellence from Plato to Darwin | Stephen Jay Gould

#TBRtemptation post 1! The human mind conducts simplification in order to process the complex world around it: reduce to averages, identity trends, look for patterns. On the flip side, we get a skewed view of things. Gould's argument: we may not be the pinnacle of evolution--that may be a skewed view of reality. And this book works to support that paradigm-shifting hypothesis. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook ðŸ˜Ž
