Evolutionary Naturalism - Roy Wood Sellars - Bog

Evolutionary Naturalism is a philosophical work by Roy Wood Sellars that explores the concept of naturalism and its relationship with evolution. The book argues that naturalism, which asserts that all phenomena can be explained by natural causes and laws, is the only truly scientific approach to understanding the world. Sellars further argues that naturalism must be understood in light of the theory of evolution, which provides a framework for understanding the development of life on earth.The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of naturalism and its relationship to science, while the second part examines the theory of evolution and its implications for naturalism. The third part of the book explores the ethical and social implications of naturalism, arguing that a naturalistic approach to ethics and society can provide a more coherent and effective basis for moral and political action than traditional approaches.Throughout the book, Sellars draws on a wide range of philosophical and scientific sources, including the work of Charles Darwin, Herbert Spencer, and John Dewey. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both scholars and general readers interested in the philosophy of science, evolution, and naturalism. Overall, Evolutionary Naturalism is a thought-provoking and insightful work that offers a compelling argument for the importance of naturalism in understanding the world and our place in it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
