I am pleased that I was able to make a contribution to the discussion of
Nancy Pearcey's writings on Darwin's influence on Stalin. I would now
like to widen the discussion to consider the efforts of another
Discovery Institute CSC Fellow, Benjamin Wiker, to blame moral ills on
Darwinism. I refer to Wiker's book "Moral Darwinism: How We Became
Hedonists", Intervarsity Press, 2002.
I know that this book has been reviewed in some of the Christian and
Intelligent Design literature, but as far as I know it was never
reviewed in the secular scholarly literature. Does any one know of such
a review? Does anyone on this forum wish to defend Wiker's thesis?
There is a review by Richard Weikart (11/18/2002) in the Books and
Culture Corner of Christianity Today magazine
