A New Book--DARWINIAN CONSERVATISM: A DISPUTED QUESTION

Darwinian Conservatism: A Disputed Question, edited by Kenneth Blanchard, is a new book published by Imprint Academic. It will be available sometime in May.

Part One of this book will be a reprint of my Darwinian Conservatism as it was originally published in 2005.

Part Two will be devoted to the following eight "critical responses" to the book:

Neil Blackstone, "Darwinian Conservatism: One Biologist's View"

Lauren Hall, "The Liberated Beast"

Carson Holloway, "Darwinian Conservatism and the First Cause of All Things"

Peter Augustine Lawler, "All Larry Needs is Love (and Death)"

Timothy Sandefur, "Darwinism and the Limitations of Conservatism"

Richard Sherlock, "Darwinism and the Limitations of Naturalism"

Michael Shermer, "Why Christians and Conservatives Should Accept Evolution"

John G. West, "The Misguided Quest for Darwinian Conservatism"


Part Three of the book contains my response to these critics and a final chapter by Blanchard:

Larry Arnhart, "Vindicating Darwinian Conservatism"

Kenneth Blanchard, "Natural Right and Natural Selection"

Blanchard's chapter offers some thoughtful reflections about how Aristotelian natural right might be compatible with Darwinian natural selection.

The whole book is about 300 pages long. It's available for preorder at Amazon.
