HOW AND WHY DARWIN KILLED RATIONALISM is a brisk summary of evolutionary thought vs. Rationalism in Victorian England and the implications of the triumph of evolutionary theory for Victorian intellectuals. Long before Darwin, scientists had been pecking away at the Rationalist belief that the creation of man was unique and phenomenal. It wasn't until Darwin's publication of ORIGIN OF SPECIES, however, that evolution achieved general acceptance in the scientific community. HOW AND WHY summarizes why Darwin succeeded while earlier scientists and philosophers with similar theories had failed. This paper of 3,000+ words is by Linda Hewitt, who holds B.A. and M.A. in history.
