Dawkins; philosophy of culture; meme theory; cognitive science
The purpose of this text is an attempt to answer the question “What distinguishes a man against other species?” In this context, I discuss Richard Dawkins’s theory of memes and consider the issues related to it, referring (to a greater or lesser degree) to the thoughts of authors such as Mariusz Biedrzycki, Goeffrey Miller, Karl Popper, and Norbert Elias. I think, however, that a more important part of this article is not the analyses contained in it, but the posted questions. I hope that they will interest the reader with the subject and stimulate them to philosophical reflections.
