<p><strong>`Ruse argues many issues in this book, always with clarity and humour. I would not borrow </strong><em>Darwinian Paradigm</em><strong> from the library. This is a book to own'</strong> - <em>New Scientist</em></p>
Charles Darwin's Origin of Species is now 130 years old, yet it continues to provoke fierce and impassioned debate. Michael Ruse, a distinguished champion of Darwin's theory of evolution, here presents a collection of essays - many previously unpublished - which look at Darwinism from both historical and contemporary perspectives. Written in a lively and accessible style, these essays cover philosophical and theological as well as scientific issues. Michael Ruse's claims are often highly controversial, particularly in discussions on the relations between science and religion, and they should provoke much comment.
