Abstract:
Many people are upset by Richard Dawkins. Mary Midgley, in particular, has argued that Dawkins'‘crude, cheap, blurred genetics […] is the kingpin of his crude, cheap, blurred psychology. ’Dawkins is often also suspected of having sinister political motives, and of morally condoning selfish behaviour. Here, Jeremy Stangroom explains how he believes Midgley and others have systematically misunderstood Dawkins.

Abstract:
In the whole fourth chapter of The God Delusion Richard Dawkins in a long and complicated argumentation attempts to prove that God’s existence is improbable and we have no reason to believe in Him. In my paper I am going to examine the basic structure of his train of thought first so that I present the detailed reconstruction of the single steps later on. Having scrutinized the reconstructed reasoning in the last section I am going to show that his main argument for atheism is unsuccessful.

Abstract:
This thesis focuses on the Jamaican and English history of the Dawkins’ and explores the relationship between their slave-owning activities and their subsequent entrance into the metropole’s landed ranks. It demonstrates how one particular family were able to establish themselves as wealthy sugar planters on one side of the Atlantic, whilst its later generations migrated to England and drew upon the West Indian fortune to transform themselves into members of elite county society during the eighteenth- and early-nineteenth-centuries. Central to this thesis is an analysis of the Dawkins’ Jamaican plantation papers and their English estate records. It traces their colonial land building activities from the earliest days of their settlement on the island, during the mid-seventeenth-century, in an effort to understand how the foundations of their wealth were established by the first two generations of the family. By the middle of the eighteenth-century they had amassed a fortune large enough to allow the third generation to become absentees. The scene shifts from Jamaica to England where the family, headed by Henry Dawkins II, focussed on becoming part of Britain’s provincial elite after migrating to the metropole in the late 1750s. They engaged in a number of undertakings strategically designed to facilitate this blending which are explored across four chapters. These include the construction and development of country estates, marriage into established landed families, the acquisition of political office, and the re-crafting of their image to that of a refined genteel family. The examination of these undertakings sheds light on the different areas into which colonial fortunes spilled over as the profits from the Dawkins’ slave-based enterprise “came home”.

Deus, um delírio? A doutrina neoateísta de Richard Dawkins enquanto doadora de sentido para a vida é uma pesquisa que tem como objetivo analisar o pensamento de Richard Dawkins, condensado em sua obra principal o livro Deus um delírio para que seja possível verificar como funcionam os argumentos ali contidos e analisar a oferta de sentido que traz para substituir a religião enquanto doadora de sentido para a vida. A pesquisa foi feita através de uma revisão bibliográfica das obras do autor e de seus principais críticos. No primeiro capítulo foram investigados os pressupostos e as origens das ideias do pensamento ateísta de Dawkins. No segundo capítulo se faz uma análise mais pormenorizada das ideias de Dawkins. No terceiro capítulo o pensamento de Dawkins é analisado enquanto doutrina doadora de sentido para a vida humana. Foi constatado que Dawkins usa a o conhecimento científico fora de sua alçada para propagar uma doutrina liberalista.

The object of study is the main Richard Dawkins ideas of atheism and this reception on the brasilian atheists. Dawkins is one of the leading publishers and militant atheist movement today, and despite his public facet - released worldwide on websites and in books of recognized success - there are debates of the author , pertaining to academic spaces and restricted to scientists, who do not always have congruent to its exhibitions and public defenders . Internally the walls of science, Richard Dawkins can not find full verification and corroboration of some central points of his theory that seem to support its public arguments of atheism, such as the theory and the concept of memetic and selection gene, ideas presented to the lay public one of his most famous books, The Selfish Gene (2001a [1976]) and maintained publicly with the status of consolidated science. We assume that the figures of scientist and militant atheist from Dawkins mingle in front of the public imagination, which tends to lead his followers to understand atheism as a more legitimate and true way that religious, being interpreted that as a way to free choice and the latter undergoes a indoctrination. We believe, however, that atheism can be understood as subject to natural cognitive mechanisms, as religion. We take into account the political scene today is favorable to atheists, since we observed a phenomenon we call "moral atheists revenge", a reversal of official protection and legitimacy of the state, which has long been welcoming and protecting the speech religious and today happened to be synchronized with atheistics claims, being religious in an outdated and uncomfortable place in the democratic debate. These hypotheses was investigated by means of confrontation between the scientific and public speeches of Richard Dawkins and through a mixed questionnaire (with open and closed questions ) that investigated 1022 atheists, noting whether and to what extent atheism sample follows trends thinking of Richard Dawkins. We observed patterns of response, three groups: Super Atheists, Moderates Atheists and Discrete Atheists. Approximately 30% of the sample declare themselves as followers of the author, and all, nearly 80% have knowledge about any point of the theory of Dawkins
O objeto de estudo consiste nas principais ideias ateístas de Richard Dawkins e na recepção destas por parte dos ateus inseridos na cultura brasileira. Dawkins é um dos principais divulgadores e militantes do movimento ateísta da atualidade, e a despeito de sua faceta pública divulgada em sites mundiais e em livros de reconhecido sucesso existem debates do autor, concernentes aos espaços acadêmicos e restritos a cientistas, que nem sempre se apresentam congruentes às suas exposições e defesas públicas. Internamente aos muros da ciência, Richard Dawkins não encontra plena verificação e corroboração de alguns pontos centrais de sua teoria que parecem embasar sua argumentação pública do ateísmo, tais como a teoria da memética e o conceito de seleção de gene, ideias apresentadas ao público leigo em um de seus mais célebres livros, O gene egoísta (2001a [1976]) e mantidas publicamente com o status de ciência consolidada. Consideramos que as figuras de cientista e militante ateu em Dawkins fundem-se diante do imaginário público, o que tende a levar seus seguidores a compreenderem o ateísmo como um caminho mais legítimo e verdadeiro que o religioso, sendo aquele interpretado como um caminho de livre escolha e este último submetido a uma doutrinação. Acreditamos, no entanto, que o ateísmo pode ser compreendido como submetido a mecanismos cognitivos naturais, como a religião. Levamos em conta que o cenário político hoje é favorável aos ateus, uma vez que observamos um fenômeno que chamamos de vingança moral dos ateus , uma inversão da proteção oficial e da legitimidade do Estado, que durante muito tempo esteve acolhendo e protegendo o discurso religioso e hoje passou a se afinizar com reivindicações ateístas, ficando o religioso em um lugar ultrapassado e incômodo no debate democrático. Estas hipóteses foram investigadas por meio da confrontação entre os discursos científico e público de Richard Dawkins e através de um questionário misto (com questões fechadas e abertas) que investigou 1022 ateus, observando se, e em que intensidade, o ateísmo da amostra segue as tendências do pensamento de Richard Dawkins. Pudemos observar nos padrões de resposta, três grupos: Super Ateus, Ateus Moderados e Ateus Discretos. Aproximadamente 30% da amostra declara-se fã do autor, e ao todo, perto de 80% tem conhecimento sobre algum ponto da teoria de Dawkins

CONSELHO NACIONAL DE DESENVOLVIMENTO CIENTÍFICO E TECNOLÓGICO
O conceito de memes surgiu em 1976 com Richard Dawkins como um análogo cultural dos genes. Deveria ser possível estudar a cultura através do processo de evolução por seleção natural de memes, ou seja, de comportamentos, idéias e conceitos. O filósofo Daniel Dennett utilizou tal conceito como central em sua teoria da consciência e pela primeira vez divulgou para o grande público a possibilidade de uma ciência dos memes chamada memética. A pesquisadora Susan Blackmore, 1999, foi quem mais se aproximou de uma defesa completa de tal teoria. No entanto, a memética sofreu pesadas críticas e ainda não se constituiu como uma ciência, com métodos e uma base empírica bem definida. A presente tese visa entrar nesta discussão, analisando todas as principais críticas que foram feitas com o objetivo de analisar se a memética poderia de fato ser uma ciência e também que tipo de ciência ela seria.
The concept of memes was created by Richard Dawkins in 1976 as an analogue of genes. It suggests the possibility of studying culture through a process of evolution through natural selection of memes, that is, of behaviors, ideas and concepts. The concept became central for the philosopher Daniel Dennett, who employed it in his theory of consciousness and made the possibility of a science of memes called memetics known to the general public. Researcher Susan Blackmore, 1999, came very close to a complete defense of such theory. However, memetics was the target of heavy criticism, and could still not establish itself as a science, with specific methods and a well-defined empirical base. The present work aims to engage in this discussion, examining the main critics and seeking to establish whether memetics could in fact be a science, and, if so, what kind of science it would be.

Abstract:
The compatibility between the Christian faith and various scientific advances has been up for discussion time and again to the degree that the debate is hard to miss. According to most, the most daunting subject of the discussion might be the compatibility with Darwin’s theory of evolution. In an attempt to get a perspective on this issue, this paper discusses compatibility by analysing the argumentation on the subject by two evolutionary biologists: Richard Dawkins and Joan Roughgarden. The arguments of the two authors are then tested regarding validity and applicability, leading to the conclusion that although both make valid claims regarding the subject of evolution, Dawkins’ reasoning of incompatibility can only be applied to a strictly limited group of Christians, whereas Roughgarden’s arguments for compatibility between the theory of evolution the Bible appears to be both tenable and applicable to Christianity at large. The conclusion is thus drawn that a certain compatibility appears to exist.

Abstract:
This study has its background in the debate about religion and the existence of God, which has been an ongoing issue throughout the Western cultural tradition. Today´s information society has been an impact on the increasing interest for this subject. The essay’s main task is to accomplish a rhetorical analysis of two books, Illusionen om Gud (2008) by atheist Richard Dawkins and Guds dödgrävare (2010) by Christian John Lennox, in order to investigate the authors’ use of rhetorical strategies to influence their audience. The texts are studied using a qualitative approach with the theoretical basis of some well-defined rhetorical variables: ethical, logical and pathetic means of persuasion, propaganda, and the important factor that a message always is presented in a certain context in which the recipients both have their own values and subjects to general truths and common frames of reference. The analysis is intended to convey the rhetorical essence of each author, and uses this image to discuss aims and methods in the communication. Both authors demonstrate varying propagandistic strategies and base their arguments from common context and widely recognized frames of reference. Lennox almost exclusively uses methodological logo arguments, while Dawkins often uses the pathetic persuasion founds.

Abstract:
Теория биологической эволюции, пройдя за полтора века непростой путь своего развития, далека до своего завершения. Многочисленные попытки ее дальнейшего развития сводятся к двум основным альтернативным принципам - редукционизму и холизму. В статье предлагается оригинальный редукционистский подход к обсуждаемой проблеме Ричарда Докинза: согласно его теории, родоначальником, центром и сущностью жизнедеятельности и эволюции живых организмов является ген, а важнейшим доказательством - тот факт, что эволюция любого биологического вида в конечном счете сводится к эволюции его генотипа. Будучи ортодоксальным дарвинистом, Докинз развивает свою теорию репликаторов на основе важнейших положений естественного отбора. The theory of biological evolution, having gone through a difficult path of its development for a century and a half, is far from its completion. Numerous attempts at its further development are reduced to two main alternative principles - reductionism and holism. The article offers an original reductionist approach to the problem under discussion by Richard Dawkins: according to his theory, the gene is the ancestor, center and essence of the vital activity and evolution of living organisms, and the most important proof is the fact that the evolution of any biological species ultimately boils down to the evolution of its genotype. Being an orthodox Darwinist, Dawkins develops his theory of replicators on the basis of the most important provisions of natural selection.

Abstract:
Introdução: Este trabalho discute o uso dos memes da internet e sua influência nos debates de questões políticas e sociais, em tempos nos quais a internet e as redes sociais ganharam um lugar incontestável na vida de grande parte das pessoas do mundo todo. Objetivo: Assim, essa pesquisa possui o objetivo de explicar a relação cultural do homem com o meme, do real com o virtual, identificando os pontos de influência e como essa ligação afeta a vida das pessoas. Material e métodos: Como fundamentação, fizemos uso das pesquisas de Dawkins (1976), que discute a respeito do “gene egoísta”, dizendo que a transmissão cultural é análoga à transmissão genética, no sentido de que embora seja basicamente conservadora, pode originar um tipo de evolução no ser humano; utilizamos também Laraia (2001), o qual explana sobre cultura, sociedade e suas relações; e Schechner (2006), que discorre sobre a linguagem corporal e o seu sentido. A metodologia de pesquisa fez uso de um questionário com 8 questões para coleta de dados, sendo divulgado via redes sociais, e obteve o quantitativo de 59 respostas, as quais foram analisadas pelo método de validade qualitativo, em conformidade com as visões da pesquisa de Gatti (2004). Resultados: Por meio das análises dos resultados, é possível inferir que compartilhar um meme não é mais uma ação que termina em si própria, ela é carregada de significados, opiniões, mensagens, conhecimentos prévios de diversos assuntos, atitude esta que dá força ao “ativismo de sofá”, que hoje se caracteriza como um movimento importantíssimo, pois causa grande pressão e não pode ser contido ou reprimido. Conclusão: Desta maneira, conclui-se que o meme tem, sim, uma forte influência nos debates sociais, tanto para quem o compartilha, como para quem o visualiza, uma vez que, as redes sociais, no atual cenário, se configuram o local onde as pessoas “vivem” parte de suas vidas, o que faz com que elas criem e exibam performances buscando passar uma imagem que consideram ideal. Desta maneira, é necessário que haja uma conscientização mais ativa sobre os benefícios e malefícios que esta ferramenta de informação pode ocasionar.
