Darwin's pious idea: why the ultra-darwinists and creationists both get it wrong
Darwin’s Pious Idea is a singular effort to bring science, theology, and philosophy into creative synthesis, in light of recent controversies regarding evolution and religion. The book is over 500 pages long, the endnotes accounting for a hundred of those (the publisher decided to exclude the 65 page bibliography for the sake of length). The book engages extensively with evolutionary biology, evolutionary psychology and anthropology, philosophy of mind, philosophy of science, and, of course, theology, both systematic and philosophical. The work unites these engagements around fundamental, metaphysical concepts that challenge the dominant 'science and religion' model.
