On The Very Problem Of The Problem Of God In Zubiri And Unamuno, Brad E. Stone
On The Very Problem Of The Problem Of God In Zubiri And Unamuno, Brad E. Stone
Philosophy Faculty Works
Perhaps one innovation brought about by Spanish philosophy is the notion that “God” names a problem instead of an entity. This is what Xavier Zubiri means when he uses the phrase “the problem of God.” Although he does not employ the Zubirian phrase, Miguel de Unamuno also addresses God as a problem. This paper compares Zubiri’s and Unamuno’s accounts of how God appears to human beings polemically. For both thinkers, God is a problem only for human beings; there is something about the structure of human existence that makes God come to mind. For Zubiri, God comes to mind because …

Design By Nature, Timothy Shanahan
The Evolutionary Indeterminism Thesis, Timothy Shanahan
The Evolutionary Indeterminism Thesis, Timothy Shanahan
Philosophy Faculty Works
Evolutionary indeterminists argue that, in addition to any indeterminism introduced by quantum events, at least some evolutionary processes are themselves fundamentally indeterministic. That is, they maintain that the chance element in evolutionary processes results from indeterminism in the processes themselves, rather than simply from our cognitive limitations. Not everyone has been persuaded. A number of philosophers have argued that claims for evolutionary indeterminism are premature at best and deeply confused at worst. They maintain that evolutionary processes can and should be understood as deterministic processes. According to them, "chance" is merely a word denoting our ignorance of causes. This controversy …

Group Selection And The Evolution Of Myxomatosis, Timothy Shanahan
Group Selection And The Evolution Of Myxomatosis, Timothy Shanahan
Philosophy Faculty Works
Before it is possible to asses the importance of "group selection" in nature, it is necessary to rigorously define this term. A definition of group selection is derived from a critical analysis of conceptions common in the biological literature. This definition is then used to clarify the debate over the mechanism responsible for the evolution of myxomatosis in Australia.
Beatty On Chance And Natural Selection, Timothy Shanahan
Beatty On Chance And Natural Selection, Timothy Shanahan
Philosophy Faculty Works
In his (1984) John Beatty correctly identifies the issue of the role of chance in evolution as one of the liveliest disputes in evolutionary biology. He argues, on the basis of a carefully articulated example, that "Even on a proper construal of 'natural selection', it is difficult to distinguish between the 'improbable results of natural selection' and evolution by random drift". His other remarks indicate that he is thinking of conceptual as well as practical indistinguishability. In this discussion I take issue with one of the consequences Beatty draws from his example. I argue that the example at most shows …
