W E ARE NOW at the last stage of our survey of Darwin’s theory of evolution. We have presented the study of his theory and its application, and followed its subsequent development in several directions. Now is the time to study the importance of his theory for philosophy and sociology. For While in the field of philosophy the import of his theory has remained far from properly understood, in the field of sociology it has been subject to the widest possible types of misapprehension, misinterpretation and misapplication. Let us see how. One by one. A large number of scholars have thoroughly studied Darwin’s Notebooks written on the morrow of his return from the Beagle journey in order to follow the course of his intellectual development. It is more or less universally acknowledged that during that period he gradually discarded his longheld beliefs in Christianity and turned towards an atheistic viewpoint (although he preferred to use the polite term ‘agnostic’ to the aggressive term ‘...

A Modest Proposal for Resolving the Apparently Never-Ending Evolution Debate: Reconsidering the Question2019 •
The author makes an attempt to show why (1) Darwin’s teaching in The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection and The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex cannot be “scientific” in a modern, classical, or any, sense and that, consequently, in them, (2) Darwin did not scientifically prove the reality of evolution of species. He claims that, while the question of the origin of genera and species is principally and primarily a metaphysical problem, Darwin’s ignorance of the nature of philosophy and metaphysics and the complexity of the problem of the nature of genera and species caused him mistakenly to frame this metaphysical problem as one of physics, more precisely as one of biology, which Darwin reduced to a natural history of living, physical beings.

In this essay, we will look into the existing body of criticisms which have been brought against the modern theory of evolution; we will investigate the nature and extent of these criticisms and con clude with an evaluation of their meanings and significance and the possible impact they will have on the future development of the theory. Before we proceed to identify the above body of criticisms, we need to clarify the meaning of the precise idea or concept that is being criticized since the term evolution has been used to convey dif ferent meanings and connotations. Herbert Spencer, for example, who is considered the first great evolutionist and who gave the word evolution its modern connotation in English, used the word in two different senses in his essay The Development Hypothesis1 which appeared in the Leader between 1851 and 1854, that is several years before the publication of Darwin’s The Origin of Species. In this essay as well as in his later work The Principles of Biolog...
