Science, Religion, and Secularism Part XI: Arthur O. Lovejoy, the Great Chain of Being and Pre-Darwinian Biology

November 22, 2017 by Daniel Halverson Leave a Comment

In the previous two articles, we took a detour in order to explore two interactions between theology and the science of astronomy. In the first, I argued that the oft-repeated narrative, which holds that Copernicus’s heliocentric model demolished a prideful, theologically inspired anthropocentrism, was not historically accurate.

About The Partially Examined Life

The Partially Examined Life is a philosophy podcast by some guys who were at one point set on doing philosophy for a living but then thought better of it. Each episode, we pick a text and chat about it with some balance between insight and flippancy. You don’t have to know any philosophy, or even to have read the text we’re talking about to (mostly) follow and (hopefully) enjoy the discussion
