Generic Features of Evolution and Its Continuity -- a Transdisciplinary Perspective
Witt, Ulrich - Volkswirtschaft Abteilung, Fachbereich … - 2002
Evolution is thought to occur in many disciplinary domains. Because of the intellectual attraction of the neo …-Darwinian theory of evolution, evolutionary processes in other domains are often conceptualized in terms of that theory. However, as … generic features of evolution which transcend all domain-specific characteristics. Two concrete features are discussed …

Economic Behavior –Evolutionary vs. Behavioral Perspectives
Witt, Ulrich - Max-Planck-Institut für Ökonomik <Jena> / Abteilung … - 2010
An evolutionary perspective on economic behavior has to account for the influences that thehuman genetic endowment has on the choices the agents make. Likely to have been fixed intimes of fierce selection pressure, this endowment is presumably adapted to the livingconditions of early humans. If...

Systemism
Gräbner-Radkowitsch, Claudius; Kapeller, Jakob - 2024
This entry discusses the concept of "systemism", elaborates how it implicitly underpinned most seminal works of evolutionary-institutional economics, and explains how future research would benefit from making the systemist nature of evolutionary economics more explicit. More precisely, the paper...

Aestheticism in the theory of custom
Schlicht, Ekkehart - 2021
The nature of learning processes as well as evolutionary considerations suggest that aesthetic judgement is of central importance in the formation of custom. Learning and extrapolation rely on evaluations of non-instrumental features like simplicity, analogy, straightforwardness, and clarity....
