Description:

THE WAY OF EVOLUTION combines nine substantial essays with an aphoristic appendix as it strives to delineate evolutionary trends and to uphold the desirability of transcendental artificiality in the face of naturalistic traditions. Subjects range from gender and class to literature and music, as well as an interesting variant on the 'philosophy of history' as propounded by the estimable likes of Oswald Spengler, Simone Weil, and Malcolm Muggeridge.
