9Religion, Evolution and Scottish PhilosophyJournal of Scottish Philosophy 19 (1): 75-89. 2020.This paper explores developments in the defence of theism within Scottish philosophy following Hume's Dialogues and the advent of Darwinian evolutionary biology.

Henry Calderwood and Andrew Seth Pringle-Pattison occupied, respectively, the Chairs of Moral P…Read more
