Summary: Darwinian natural right?
Comment: This interesting collection of essays contains "Thomistic Natural Law as Darwinian Natural Right" which is a provocative attempt to connect the natural law tradition to Darwinism. It is an engaging thesis and one of the few by Darwinists that is even worth looking at (statement by a Darwin critic). The problem here is that all the ironies of 'legitimation' lurk in the assumptions about Darwinian theory, this as a means to prop up natural right theory. Also, one might criticize Darwin's note on Kant as failing to grasp the distinction between a spiritual versus material explanation and a noumenal/phenomenal thematic vis a vis ethics. In a word, we need some better justification of Darwin's theory before we use that to prop up natural right. Interesting in any case.
This argument assumes that microevolution resolves macroevolution, an issue settled by paradigmatics, not science. What of natural right if we accept punctuated equilibrium as a macroevolutionary version of the theory. How about the right to revolution by punctuated equilibrial right? Imagine making that argument in front of the judge. If that's true, then what grounds does the judge have to favor Darwin's theory, Darwinian natural right? What lawyer could produce smoking gun evidence for natural selection? Back to the drawing board here.
Any way Aquinas believed in 'souls'. How do these evolve?
