Taking Leave of Darwin
Book • 2021
Taking Leave of Darwin describes Neil Thomas's intellectual journey away from mainstream Darwinism, outlining reasons he found modern evolutionary theory less convincing upon closer examination.
The book surveys historical and contemporary critiques of Darwin, highlighting conceptual weaknesses and areas where naturalistic explanations fall short.
Thomas uses his background in literature and intellectual history to analyze the rhetoric and assumptions underpinning evolutionary discourse.
It serves as a precursor to False Messiah, setting up themes of cultural influence, scientific ambiguity, and the possibility of alternative explanations such as intelligent design.
The work influenced later writings by Thomas and is referenced repeatedly in his subsequent critique.
