Reason and Evolution

By George A. Zellers

Book Overview

Reason and Evolution is a philosophical book written by George A. Zellers. The book explores the relationship between reason and evolution, two fundamental concepts that have shaped human understanding of the world. The author argues that reason and evolution are not in conflict, but rather complement each other in understanding the natural world. Zellers begins by providing an overview of the history of philosophy, highlighting the different approaches that philosophers have taken to understanding the world. He then delves into the concept of evolution, discussing the history of evolutionary theory and its impact on scientific understanding of the natural world. The author then explores the role of reason in understanding the world, discussing the different philosophical approaches to reason and how it has been used to understand the natural world. He argues that reason is a powerful tool for understanding the world, but that it must be tempered by an understanding of the limitations of human knowledge. Throughout the book, Zellers emphasizes the importance of understanding both reason and evolution in order to gain a deeper understanding of the natural world. He argues that these two concepts are not mutually exclusive, but rather work together to provide a more complete understanding of the world. Overall, Reason and Evolution is a thought-provoking book that will appeal to anyone interested in philosophy, science, and the intersection of the two.1927. From the Introduction: It may be said, then, that the principal object of this volume is to examine some of the main hypothetical conjectures put forth by evolutionists in their arguments and discussions, to bring them under the scrutiny of sound reason, and compare some of them with undoubted facts. In this way the cause of truth will be advanced.
