Introduction
This course is intended to be a systematic presentation of the science of evolution, the application of evolutionary theory outside the biological field – especially in the epistemological, cultural, philosophical and theological fields, and a philosophical evaluation of these evolutionary theories. The first part will be rather scientific, to understand the theoretical interpretations of evolutionary data. In a second part, we will investigate the application of evolutionary theory to the development of human knowledge, and thus to the fruits of the human spirit (art, morality, religion, the sciences). In the third philosophical part, we will present the evolutionary metaphysics of Bergson and Teilhard de Chardin, and a comparison of evolutionary theory with Aristotelian-Thomistic philosophy. We conclude with reflections on evolution and creation.
