This book presents a unified evolutionary framework based on three
sets of metaphors that will help to consolidate discussions on
evolutionary transitions. Evolution is the unifying principle of
life, making identifying ways to apply evolutionary principles to
tackle existence-threatening crises such as climate change crucial.
A more cohesive evolutionary framework will further the discussions
in this regard and also accelerate the process itself. This book
lays out a framework based on three dualistic classes of metaphors
- time, space, and conflict resolution. Evolutionary transitions
theory shows how metaphors can help us understand selective
diversification, as Darwin described with his "tree of life".
Moreover, the recently proposed Stockholm paradigm demonstrates how
metaphors can help shed light on the emergence of complex
ecosystems that Darwin highlighted with his "tangled bank"
metaphor. Taken together, these ideas offer proactive measures for
coping with existential crises for humanity, such as climate
change. The book will appeal to biologists, philosophers and
historians alike.
