  • Modelling Religious Signalling
    1 MODELLING RELIGIOUS SIGNALLING A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the Australian National University Carl Joseph Brusse February 2019 © Copyright by Carl Joseph Brusse, 2019 All Rights Reserved 2 3 This thesis is solely the work of its author. No part of it has been submitted for any degree, or is currently being submitted for any other degree. To the best of my knowledge, any help received in preparing this thesis, and all sources used, have been duly acknowledged. 4 5 for Caroline, Alida, and Isobel 6 7 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe a great debt to my supervisory panel members past and present: Kim Sterelny, Justin Bruner, Rachael Brown, and Ben Fraser, for their deeply insightful commentary and gentle corrective during the various phases of this project. In particular, Kim very much provided both the inspiration for this project and the impetus for venturing to return to philosophy for this PhD candidature. I would not have entered into this without his encouragement, and I certainly would not have made it out the other side without his support and mentorship. Thank you, Kim, for your judgment and generosity, and for your astute, necessity-sensitive application of patience (or lack thereof) when required. Justin too deserves special mention for patiently schooling me in evolutionary game theory and signalling games (despite my sometimes bizarrely misguided intuitions), and in suggesting and contributing to my first simulation projects and our joint paper at the 2016 PSA, published in Philosophy of Science. Being at the School of Philosophy at the ANU, the number of faculty and grad students (local and visiting) who have taken the time to listen and offer valuable insights would be too long to record here.
