Evolutionary Naturalism - Roy Wood Sellars - Bog

Evolutionary Naturalism is a philosophical book written by Roy Wood Sellars, which explores the concept of naturalism and its relationship with evolution. The book is divided into three parts, each of which delves into a different aspect of evolutionary naturalism.In the first part, Sellars provides an overview of naturalism and its historical development. He argues that naturalism is a worldview that is based on the idea that everything in the world can be explained through natural causes and processes, without the need for supernatural intervention. He also explores the relationship between naturalism and science, arguing that naturalism provides a framework for scientific inquiry.The second part of the book focuses on the concept of evolution and its implications for naturalism. Sellars argues that evolution is a natural process that can be explained through scientific inquiry, and that it has important implications for our understanding of the natural world. He also explores the relationship between evolution and ethics, arguing that an evolutionary perspective can provide a basis for ethical decision-making.In the final part of the book, Sellars explores the implications of evolutionary naturalism for our understanding of human nature and consciousness. He argues that human beings are products of evolution, and that our consciousness and mental processes can be explained through natural causes and processes. He also explores the relationship between consciousness and free will, arguing that our conscious choices are determined by natural causes.Overall, Evolutionary Naturalism is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between naturalism and evolution. It provides a comprehensive overview of the philosophical implications of these concepts, and will be of interest to anyone interested in philosophy, science, or the natural world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
