Paperback. Countering the pervasive view that the facts of Darwin's world must lead to a disenchanting vision of it, the author shows that Darwin's ideas and the language of his books offer an alternative form of enchantment. He makes a case for an enchanted secularism - a commitment to the value of the natural world and the human striving to understand it. Num Pages: 336 pages. BIC Classification: PDX; PSAJ.
