9.Darwins-Conservatives.jpgOur offering of the day? Darwin’s Conservatives: The Misguided Quest, by John G. West, a concise pr�cis of why the debate about evolution matters for our culture and our nation.

Conservatives including George Will, Larry Arnhart, and the late James Q. Wilson have mounted a vigorous defense of Darwinian biology, even urging conservatives to draw on Darwin’s theory for support. In this small but incisive book, political scientist Dr. West argues that the quest for a "Darwinian conservatism" is misguided and fundamentally flawed.

Contrary to claims by Darwin’s conservatives, Darwinian evolution promotes relativism rather than traditional morality. It fosters utopianism rather than limited government. It is corrosive, rather than supportive, of free will and religious belief. Finally, and most importantly, Darwinian evolution is at odds with the scientific evidence. That is to say, with reality.

Professor J. Budziszewski of the University of Texas, Austin, has hailed Darwin’s Conservatives for "showing clearly that Darwinism is not a source of conservative insight into human nature, but only a source of confusion."

Dr. West is associate director of the Center for Science & Culture at Discovery Institute and holds a PhD in Government from Claremont Graduate University. Formerly the chairman of the Department of Political Science and Geography at Seattle Pacific University, Dr. West has written or edited 12 books, including Darwin Day in America and The Politics of Revelation and Reason.

Darwin’s Conservatives sells for $14.95 (list price) but today only you’ll get it at half off, or $7.48.
