- Summary
- "Michael Ruse, well-known authority on the history and philosophy of Darwinism, offers here the definitive work on the philosophical nature and impact of Darwin's thought. This engaging text is not just a springboard for theoretical debate, but also a treatise that tackles head-on many of the controversial anti-Darwin sentiments and suppositions asserted by believers of the Creationist movement." "Using clear, non-technical language, Ruse has much to say about the status of evolutionary thought as a genuine theory, the philosophical implications of Darwinism, and the modern naturalistic explanations of religion."--BOOK JACKET.
