The Philosophy Of Evolution

The Philosophy of Evolution is a book written by Stephen Haskins Carpenter that explores the philosophical underpinnings of the theory of evolution. The book begins with a preliminary essay on the metaphysical basis of science, which sets the stage for a discussion of evolution as a scientific theory. Carpenter delves into the history of evolutionary thought, examining the work of Charles Darwin and other prominent scientists who have contributed to our understanding of evolution. He also explores the philosophical implications of evolution, including its impact on our understanding of human nature, ethics, and the meaning of life. Throughout the book, Carpenter argues that evolution is not just a scientific theory, but a worldview that has profound implications for how we view ourselves and our place in the world. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of science and philosophy, and the implications of evolutionary theory for our understanding of the world around us.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
