Dans son célèbre ouvrage, l'Origine des espèces, Darwin ne s'est pas uniquement préoccupé d'établir la sélection naturelle : il y mène également une réflexion sur les variations, les causes qui les produisent et les lois par lesquelles elles sont transmises ou non à la descendance. Cette tension entre variation et sélection, qui traverse l'ouvrage dès 1859, influença la réception de L'Origine. Elle autorisa en effet plusieurs manières d'être darwinien ou antidarwinien, au point de susciter des revendications paradoxales : certains crurent que l'important était la recherche des lois de la variation, et qu'ils pouvaient se proclamer darwiniens tout en rejetant la sélection naturelle si centrale dans le darwinisme... Les querelles de traduction et les ambiguïtés nées des modifications apportées par Darwin lui-même aux éditions successives de son œuvre aggravèrent encore les tensions. Au fil de l'analyse, on constate que darwiniens et non-darwiniens composent une palette fort nuancée et qu'ils finissent par se rejoindre dans une commune posture : pour défendre leurs positions, tous jouent Darwin contre Darwin.

The Origin of Species by Charles Darwin is universally recognized as one of the most important science books ever written. Published in 1859, it was here that Darwin argued for both the fact of evolution and the mechanism of natural section. The Origin of Species is also a work of great cultural and religious significance, in that Darwin maintained that all organisms, including humans, are part of a natural process of growth from simple forms. This Companion commemorates the 150th anniversary of the publication of the Origin of Species and examines its main arguments. Drawing on the expertise of leading authorities in the field, it also provides the contexts - religious, social, political, literary, and philosophical - in which the Origin was composed. Written in a clear and friendly yet authoritative manner, this volume will be essential reading for both scholars and students More broadly, it will appeal to general readers who want to learn more about one of the most important and controversial books of modern times.

It has been nearly 150 years since Darwin published On the Origin of Species, and his theory of natural selection still ignites a forest of heated debate between scientific fundamentalists on the one hand and religious fundamentalists on the other. But both sides actually agree more than they disagree, and what has long been needed is a third way to view evolution, one that focuses more on the aspect of life and “being alive”, one that can guide us through, and perhaps out of, the fiery thicket. This book, a seminal work in the burgeoning field of Biosemiotics, provides that third way, by viewing living beings as genuine agents designing their communication pathways with, and in, the world. Already hailed as the best account of biological hermeneutics, Life As Its Own Designer: Darwin’s Origin and Western Thought is a wholly unique book divided into two parts. The first part is philosophical and explores the roots of rationality and the hermeneutics of the natural world with the overriding goal of discovering how narrative can help us to explain life. It analyzes why novelty is so hard to comprehend in the framework of Western thinking and confronts head-on the chasm between evolutionism and traditional rationalistic worldviews. The second part is scientific. It focuses on the life of living beings, treating them as co-creators of their world in the process of evolution. It draws on insights gleaned from the global activity of the Gaian biosphere, considers likeness as demonstrated on homology studies, and probes the problem of evo-devo science from the angle of life itself. This book is both timely and vital. Past attempts at a third way to view evolution have failed because they were written either by scientists who lacked a philosophical grounding or New Age thinkers who lacked biological credibility. Markoš and his coworkers form an original group of thinkers supremely capable in both fields, and they have fashioned a book that is ideal for researchers and scholars from both the humanities and sciences who are interested in the history and philosophy of biology, biosemiotics, and the evolution of life.
