This short conference paper takes a theme from my doctoral research and complements the argument of the dissertation with respect to the fundamental role of Herbert Spencer's ideas in psychology, neuroscience and related disciplines, which was even greater than his under-rated role in the history of evolutionary thinking in general.

Exuberance Is Rational Or at least human. Richard Thaler has led a revolution in the study of economics by understanding the strange ways people behave with their money.

Charles Darwin grew up in Shrewsbury, Shropshire and attended Shrewsbury School for seven years. The school held a Millennium Conference on 'Darwinism and Ethics for the Next Millennium' on 16 October 1999. Papers were given by Mary Midgley, Matt Ridley, Colin Tudge and me. There was a lively, civil and interesting discussion among the speakers and from the floor. In my paper I move back and ...

I was invited by the editor of The Encyclopedia of Philosophy to contribute this entry. I used the occasion to argue that debates about the animal mind or soul have been sensitive indicators of a number of issues in the history of modern thought: the immateriality of mind, the immortality of the soul, the existence of other minds, the basis of free will and responsibility, as well as widespread ...

I was delighted to be asked to write a history of the concept of the association of ideas, a topic which had loomed large in my own doctoral research on the history of ideas about the relationship between ideas and mind and brain. It was a psychological atomism which paralleled the mental atomism of the tradition extending from Newton to Behaviourism. I am glad that my exposition was balanced by ...

The founding conference of the British Society for the Social Responsibility in Science in November 1970, was on the theme, 'The Social Impact of Modern Biology'. The conference was attended by a number of eminent scientists, e.g., Nobel Laureates James Watson, Jaques Monod, Maurice Wilkins; David Bohm, Jacob Bronowski, R. G. Edwards (of Steptoe & Edwards, the pioneers of 'test-tube babies'), ...

An extraordinary conference was held on June 1982 to commemorate the centenary of Darwin's death. It occurred in a grand villa outside Florence. I was accosted at breakfast by a venerable Ernst Myer: 'You are Young. You are entirely mistaken. It is in my book.' Stuff like that. I gave a paper on which I attacked the distinction between Darwinism and Social Darwinism and therefore the boundary ...

This is a much-revised version of a paper I contributed to a conference on 'The Social Impact of Modern Biology', which was the founding event of the British Society for Social Responsibility in Science in 1970. It examines critically the assumptions of Darwinian and nineteenth-century biology. The people I met there joined me in creating the Radical Science Journal and the conference on ...

I wrote this in my first year or two as a University Assistant Lecturer in Cambridge. It has all the hallmarks of a Young Turk's effort to sweep away all previous approaches to make way for the One True Highest Standard. Most writing in the history of psychology had until then been conceived within a positivist historiography, where in true science was more or less badly anticipated by people ...

1982 was the centenary of Darwin's death, and everyone was (as they still are) claiming his legacy as the foundation of their particular world view. Marxists are particularly prone to do this, since there is a tradition of 'Scientific Marxism' stemming from the Second International to which the orthodox adhere, and Marx and Engels had a lot to say about Darwinism. I took this opportunity to ...

This is a highly-distilled version of the argument of my doctoral dissertation on the history of cerebral localization, drawing attention (to a degree not present in the dissertation or the book version) to the philosophical implications of the reigning approach in psychology and brain research.

'The Limits of Human Nature' was the title of the London Institute of Contemporary Arts winter lecture series for 1971-72. I was flattered to be among a distinguished group of contributors, including Alan Ryan, Arthur Koestler, David Bohm, Raymond Williams and John Maynard Smith. As my title implies, I did not agree with the terms of reference of the series, and my contribution was published in ...

For some time I had been writing about the pervasive influence of functionalism across a wide range of disciplines. I was then invited by the Course Team to contribute a Unit to a new course on 'Science and Belief: from Darwin to Einstein', so I adapted my argument to that pedagogical context and mode of expression. The results is a rather odd mixture of critique and exposition, but I cannot ...
