This volume covers Darwin's reception across Europe and his
influence on European science and culture.Charles Darwin is a
crucial figure in nineteenth-century science with an extensive and
varied reception in different countries and disciplines. His theory
had a revolutionary impact not only on biology, but also on other
natural sciences and the new social sciences. The term 'Darwinism',
already popular in Darwin's lifetime, ranged across many different
areas and ideological aspects, and his own ideas about the
implications of evolution for human cognitive, emotional, social
and ethical capacities were often interpreted in a way that did not
mirror his own intentions. The implications for religious,
philosophical and political issues and institutions remain as
momentous today as in his own time.This volume conveys the
many-sidedness of Darwin's reception and exhibit his far-reaching
impact on our self-understanding as human beings.
