| Abstract
|
:
|
Ruse (philosophy, Florida State U.) brings to the series his long philosophical interest in both biology and Darwin (1809-82). He explores the English naturalist's philosophical thoughts as he developed his theories on evolution, and the philosophical implications of his discoveries and interpretations of them. He also considers neo-Darwinism, which is how most people today understand his work
