The naturalist and geologist Charles Darwin (1809-82) ranks as one
of the most influential scientific thinkers of all time. In the
nineteenth century his ideas about the history and diversity of
life - including the evolutionary origin of humankind - contributed
to major changes in the sciences, philosophy, social thought and
religious belief. The Cambridge Companion to Darwin has established
itself as an indispensable resource for anyone teaching or
researching Darwin's theories and their historical and
philosophical interpretations. Its distinguished team of
contributors examines Darwin's main scientific ideas and their
development; Darwin's science in the context of its times; the
influence of Darwinian thought in recent philosophical, social and
religious debate; and the importance of Darwinian thought for the
future of naturalist philosophy. For this second edition, coverage
has been expanded to include two new chapters: on Darwin, Hume and
human nature, and on Darwin's theories in the intellectual long
run, from the pre-Socratics to the present.
