Pochodzenie człowieka: o ewolucji, dewolucji przyrody, historii i prawdy
Hanby, Michael (Wydawnictwo Pallottinum, 2020)
In „The Descent of Man: On Evolution and the Devolution of Nature, History, and Truth”, Michael Hanby discusses how Darwinian theory’s collapse of ontological perfection into historical process undermines the intellect’s proper capacity to grasp natural wholes. Once we can no longer speak meaningfully of an intrinsic end for the sake of which a given thing exists, we can no longer speak meaningfully of things at all, let alone of a mind that can know them. „The negation of transcendence in the conflation of being and history, the ‘de-Platonization’ of nature that reaches the apex of its authority in Darwinian evolution, effected a corresponding transformation of what thinking now means, indeed in what we think there even is to think about” In order for science to operate at all, Hanby points out, it must continually borrow from the very metaphysics it purports to jettison.
