Description

This Routledge volume offers a rigorous critique of neo-Darwinist approaches to the humanities, challenging the scientistic agenda that has gained prominence in recent decades. Eugene Goodheart defends humanist criticism against the encroachment of biological reductionism, arguing that the sciences of biology and psychology cannot adequately account for the complexity of artistic and cultural phenomena. As postmodern skepticism has weakened humanistic scholarship, influential figures like E.O. Wilson have proposed converting philosophy into science and replacing religious frameworks with biological theory. Goodheart's work articulates why this reductive approach fails to honour the distinctive methods and insights of humanistic inquiry, offering scholars and students a powerful counterargument to scientism's limitations.

Key Features

Eugene Goodheart's Darwinian Misadventures defends humanist criticism against neo-Darwinist approaches to literature and the arts.

The volume critiques attempts to convert philosophy and humanistic inquiry into biological science or replace humanistic methods with scientific frameworks.

Published by Routledge, this work addresses the intersection of postmodernism, Darwinism, and the future direction of humanities scholarship.

Goodheart examines how biological reductionism fails to account for the complexity and nuance of artistic and cultural analysis.
