There is hardly any university, college, or even high school left
where they do not teach Darwinism-and rightly so. Yet, most of
these places do more preaching than teaching. They teach more than
they should, and at the same time, they teach less than they
should. Most books on Darwinism are either oriented on biology or
philosophy, but this book tries to combine both approaches, so it
explains the biological aspects for (future) philosophers as well
as the philosophical aspects for (future) biologists. It leaves
Darwinism intact, but removes the "sting" that many of its
opponents dislike. In what Verschuuren calls "The Good" parts of
Darwin's legacy, the author explores what Darwin's great
contributions are to the study and theory of evolution. At the same
time, the book will also delve into the areas where Darwin's
thoughts were not so perfect or even wrong, especially in a
philosophical sense - "The Not So Good" parts of his legacy. Almost
all books on the philosophy of biology, and neo-Darwinism in
particular, were born in the cradle of logical positivism or
linguistic analysis. This book, on the other hand, tries to cross
the border between the physical and the meta-physical.
