Oedipus Rex in the Genomic Era: Human Behaviour, Law and Society

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (28006 ratings)

Description:This book explores the answers to fundamental questions about the human mind and human behaviour with the help of two ancient texts. The first is Oedipus Rex (Oedipus Tyrannus) by Sophocles, written in the 5th century BCE. The second is human DNA, with its origins around 4 billion years ago, and continuously revised by chance and evolution. With Sophocles as a guide, the authors take a journey into the Genomic era, an age marked by ever expanding insights into the human genome. Over the course of this journey, the book explores themes of free will, fate, and chance; prediction, misinterpretation, and the burden that comes with knowledge of the future; self-fulfilling and self-defeating prophecies; the forces that contribute to similarities and differences among people; roots and lineage; and the judgement of oneself and others.Using Oedipus Rex as its lens, this novel work provides an engaging overview of behavioural genetics that demonstrates its relevance across the humanities and the social and life sciences. It will appeal in particular to students and scholars of genetics, education, psychology, sociology, and law.Front MatterPages i-xiiiPDFA Journey into the Genomic Era: Sophocles Will Be Our Guide…Pages 1-15Genes, Environments and Life TrajectoriesPages 17-43Free Will in the Genomic EraPages 45-71Prophesied Future and Redefined Past in the Genomic EraPages 73-110DNA: The Greatest Text of AllPages 111-172We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
