Description

Explore the fundamental tension between religion and science in this classic work by McDougall. Originally published in 1929, Modern Materialism and Emergent Evolution (Routledge Revivals) offers a deep look into the limitations of mechanistic explanations for human behavior. McDougall argues that scientists often fail to account for the complexity of human action through pure materialism alone. This text establishes that purposive action represents a type of event that is fundamentally different from mechanistic events. By justifying the belief in teleological causation, the author provides a framework for understanding the foundations of religion and morals. This book is an essential resource for students and researchers in the Humanities and Sciences, specifically those focusing on psychology and philosophy. It provides a historical yet relevant perspective on evolutionary psychology and the philosophical debates that shape our understanding of human nature.
