EVOLUTION - FACT OR THEORY? The theory of evolution is assessed
from a philosophy of science, mind and ethical perspective. By
assessing the philosophical thinking that lies behind and in
evolution, the author comes to novel insights, e.g. is Darwin an
empiricist or empirical in approach? The current confusion between
fact, theory and hypothesis as well as the issue of chance, goal
and reductionism is clarified. The idea that evolutionary theory is
a determinist system is challenged. The continuity between humans
and nonhumans involving thinking and self consciousness id highly
regarded, e.g. in issues like The value of human and nonhuman life,
ethics and extraterrestrial intelligence. After evaluating Wilson,
Ardrey and Dawkins the author argues why evolution need not make
ethics obsolete. The author looks anew to the issue of religion and
evolution as science. He concludes that the distinction between
scientific and unscientific is not sufficient and proposes another
solution.
