Beyond this pivotal place in the history of scientific thought, Charles Darwin's writings and his theory of evolution by natural selection have also had a profound impact on art and culture and continue to do so to this day. This book is a comprehensive survey of this enduring cultural impact throughout the continent. With chapters written by leading international scholars that explore how literary writers and popular culture responded to Darwin's thought, the book also includes a complete timeline of his cultural reception in Europe and bibliographies of major translations in each country.

  • Publisher: JHU Press

American creationists’ efforts to export their beliefs have succeeded in Europe beyond their own expectations, winning followers across creed and country. For decades, the creationist movement was primarily situated in the United States. Then, in the 1970s, American creationists found their ideas welcomed abroad, first in Australia and New Zealand, then in Korea, India, South Africa, Brazil, and elsewhere—including Europe, where creationism plays an expanding role in public debates about science policy and school curricula. In this, the first comprehensive history of creationism in Europe, leading historians, philosophers, and scientists narrate the rise of—and response to—scientific...

Most Adaptable to Change

In a globalized and networked world, where media crosses national borders, contributors reveal how transnational processes have shaped popular representations of scientific and religious ideas in the United Kingdom, Argentina, Ecuador, India, Spain, Turkey, Israel, and Japan. Most Adaptable to Change demonstrates the varied and divergent ways evolutionary ideas and nonscientific traditions and ways of understanding life on Earth have transformed across the globe. By examining a range of popular media forms across a multitude of different geopolitical contexts from the 1920s to today, this book traces how different evolutionary traditions and figures have been championed or discredited by different religious traditions, their spiritual leaders, and politicians using the cultural authority of religion as leverage. It analyzes the ways in which evolutionary theory has been mobilized explicitly for the purposes of addressing wider sociopolitical questions, and it is the first collection of its kind to explicitly explore the role of popular media formats themselves as mediators in institutional debates on the relationship between evolution and religion.

Evolutionary Theology

Evolutionary Theology

The last century witnessed an explosion of theologies born out of the conviction that the science of evolution can and must contribute to our understandings of God, humanity, technology, suffering, sin, and the natural world. Even today, a sense of development continues to shape contemporary understandings of not only our origins, but also our place in the world now and in the future. Evolutionary theology's popularity continues to accelerate, but the conversation has lacked a critical, comprehensive, and accessible introduction to this field--until now. Evolutionary Theology provides a clear, critical, and concise synthesis of the most influential viewpoints in the field--from its origins i...

I Filosofi del diritto alla ‘Sapienza’ tra le due Guerre

I contributi di questa opera, dal significativo titolo I filosofi del diritto alla ‘Sapienza’ tra le due Guerre, rivolgono la loro attenzione alla cultura filosofico-giuridica italiana ed internazionale, presente nell’Istituto di Filosofia del diritto della facoltà di Giurisprudenza dell’Università degli Studi di Roma “La Sapienza”, sulle pagine della Rivista Internazionale di Filosofia del diritto e nelle attività della Società italiana di Filosofia del diritto, progettati e fortemente voluti da Giorgio Del Vecchio negli anni compresi tra i due conflitti mondiali. Incisive riflessioni in tal senso promanano dagli studiosi dell’Istituto di Filosofia del diritto, dal laborat...
