PRODUCTIVE EVOLUTION - NICHOLAS RESCHER GEBUNDEN

A doctrine of intelligent design through evolution is not going to find many friends. It is
destined to encounter opposition on all sides. Among scientists the backlog of evolution will
have little patience for intelligent design. Among religiousists  many who form intelligent
design have their doubts about evolution. In the general public's mind there is a diametrical
opposition between evolution and intelligent design: one excludes the other. This book will
argue that this view of the matter is not correct  and that in actuality one can regard
evolution itself as a pathway to intelligent design. We would do well to go beyond The Origin
of Species and-taking as our guide such works as W. Wentworth Thomson's On Growth and Form
acknowledging that evolutionary adaptation can result in solutions of a sort that intelligence
could readily ratify. Accordingly  what the present book seeks is a naturalization of
Intelligent Design that sees such design as itself the result of natural and evolutionary
processes.
