Darwin's Dangerous Idea | Daniel Dennett

From the moment it first appeared, Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection has been controversial: misrepresented, abused, denied, and fiercely debated.

In this powerful defense of Darwin, Daniel C. Dennett explores every aspect of evolutionary thinking to show why it is so fundamental to our existence and why it affirms (not threatens!) our convictions about the meaning of life.

"Essential and pleasurable for any thinking person." (Steven Pinker)

"A surpassingly brilliant book. Where creative, it lifts the reader to new intellectual heights. Where critical, it is devastating." (Richard Dawkins)
