Developing of the future: Scaffolded Darwinism in societal evolution
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 August 2014
Abstract
We sympathize with the project of a synthetic approach for devising a “theory of intentional change” and agree that Darwinism should be central in such a theory. But Darwinism is not the only process of evolution that needs to be included. Evolutionary biology itself has taken such a turn recently, with the emergence of developmental evolutionary approaches.
