Description

Explore the complex relationship between science and the arts in Darwinian Misadventures in the Humanities. Published by Routledge, this volume examines the current state of the humanities as they face the influence of postmodern skepticism and the rising confidence of Darwinism. Author Eugene Goodheart provides a critical look at the neo-Darwinist approach to the arts. He offers a defense of humanist criticism against those who seek to apply biological and psychological frameworks to humanistic study. The text addresses the ideas of E. O. Wilson, the Harvard biologist who has suggested converting philosophy into science and substituting science for religion. This book is an essential read for students and scholars interested in world history, biology, and the philosophy of the humanities. It examines the tension between the progress made in the sciences and the traditional methods used to understand human culture and expression.
