"The Nature of Selection" is a straightforward, self-contained
introduction to philosophical and biological problems in
evolutionary theory. It presents a powerful analysis of the
evolutionary concepts of natural selection, fitness, and adaptation
and clarifies controversial issues concerning altruism, group
selection, and the idea that organisms are survival machines built
for the good of the genes that inhabit them.
"Sober's is the answering philosophical voice, the voice of a
first-rate philosopher and a knowledgeable student of contemporary
evolutionary theory. His book merits broad attention among both
communities. It should also inspire others to continue the
conversation."-Philip Kitcher, "Nature"
"Elliott Sober has made extraordinarily important contributions to
our understanding of biological problems in evolutionary biology
and causality. "The Nature of Selection" is a major contribution to
understanding epistemological problems in evolutionary theory. I
predict that it will have a long lasting place in the
literature."-Richard C. Lewontin
