| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中正大學 === 哲學研究所 === 83 === There are two main parts in this thesis. In the first part,
which includes Chapter one and two, I focus on the issues of
three main units-of-selection theories, which are individual
selection, group selection, and gene selection. The main ideas
for and against these theories will be specified here. In the
second part, which includes Chapter three and four, I propose a
hierarchical-selection thesis to solve the units-of-selection
problem, since the three main theories that is introduced in
the first part do not solve this problem thoroughly. Although
the hierarchical-selection thesis has been suggested before, I
think that it was not specified systematically. Therefore, I
try to give a clearer explication for the hierarchical approach
here.
