Politics and Neo-Darwinism - Imprint Academic

description Reviews Formats

This collection of essays is eclectic, covering certain political, ethical, cultural and philosophical topics. But running through all the material is the evolutionary-naturalistic perspective stated in the opening essay, which gives the book its title. Another emphatic feature is a focus on the Western cultural outlook, as the context in which the large number of topics is viewed. This focus is important as a way of re-affirming the distinctive character of Western intellectual and cultural history, at a time when that character is, arguably, not sufficiently recognised and appreciated. Authors referred to include Aristotle, Shakespeare, Voltaire and Sartre.

"Tom Rubens unsheathes his dialectical battle-ax in the first essay, 'Politics and Neo-Darwinism', and cuts a wide swath in the first two parts of his book for his 'secular naturalistic view of man'."
