This book presentsa persuasive argument in favour of evolutionary naturalism and outlines whatsuch a stance means for our capacity of observation and understanding reality.The author discusses how our capacity of knowledge is adapted to handlesensory information about the environment in the light of Charles Darwin’stheory of evolution. The implication of this is that much of our thinking inscience and philosophy that goes beyond our immediate experience rests onabstractions and hypostatization. This book rejects the possibility of havingany knowledge of reality as it is in itself, while not denying that ourcapacity of conceptual abstractions is of great benefit for our survival.
