Richard Dawkins provides excellent examples of his reasoning and
interpretation skills in The Selfish Gene. His 1976 book is not a
work of original research, but instead a careful explanation of
evolution, combined with an argument for a particular
interpretation of several aspects of evolution. Since Dawkins is
building on other researchers' work and writing for a general
audience, the central elements of good reasoning are vital to his
book: producing a clear argument and presenting a persuasive case;
organising an argument and supporting its conclusions. In doing
this, Dawkins also employs the crucial skill of interpretation:
understanding what evidence means; clarifying terms; questioning
definitions; giving clear definitions on which to build arguments.
The strength of his reasoning and interpretative skills played a
key part in the widespread acceptance of his argument for a
gene-centred interpretation of natural selection and evolution -
and in its history as a bestselling classic of science writing.
