Richard Dawkins: The Selfish Gene — Post 2

August 24th, 2008

It’s been long overdue, well at least a week or so – because I’ve finished The Selfish Gene, and I need to write about it!

Dawkins hits a home run in the remaining chapters, and successfully enticed me to want to read his self-acclaimed ‘best’ book, “The Extended Phenotype.”

Richard Dawkins: The Selfish Gene — Post 1

July 7th, 2008

So I’ve been reading this book, as I posted before –> The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins.  Some may find a lot of his work offensive, but I find that if you can get over that — his words can generally be an eye opener as well as a mind boggler, mostly the latter as it pertains to myself.  Anyways…

First, before I get going — I don’t want anyone to think that I’m attacking any religion or worldview, actually most of what I’m going to share has nothing to do with religion, though Dawkins never fails to throw a punch in here and there, which I happen to like — but that’s beside the point.  Moving on…

So I figure I’d just offer some discussion of what has been particularly mind boggling to me, or of interest.
