Michael Ruse

Darwinism and its Discontents

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Presenting an ardent defence of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, this book offers a clear and comprehensive exposition of Darwin's thinking. Michael Ruse brings the story up-to-date, examining important issues (including the debate over Creationism and its modern day offshoot, Intelligent Design Theory) and drawing upon the most recent discoveries. Writing with the minimum of jargon. Ruse openly reveals his own beliefs whilst still providing readers with all the information and critical tools they need to make informed decisions on evolutionary theory.

Rezensionen

'As a philosopher, Ruse is well placed to discuss Darwinism's ethical, religious and philosophical dimensions. If the discontents stay with his book long enough to reach its later chapters, they will find material that transcends the conventional empirical challenges to their disbelief.' Nature
