  • PHIL 131 - Evolution and Philosophy

    5 Credits
    This course will explore the history and philosophical implications of one of the most interesting, explosive, world-changing ideas that has ever been proposed: that human beings and all other life forms on earth are the result of a unique, complex, unrepeatable process of natural selection and evolution. We will learn about other theories of biological change and diversity which preceded the modern theory of evolution. We will learn about Charles Darwin and investigate the observations and arguments which led him to conclude that all living things must be related in a great tree of common descent. We will explore the resistance to the idea of evolution which Darwin encountered and which still exists in some communities. And we will look at the ways evolutionary theory has been used to understand aspects of human experience including psychology, religion, and morality.
