Darwin's Dangerous Idea - Evolution and the Meanings of Life

Author: Daniel C. Dennett
Publisher: Simon & Schuster, 1996, 586pp, 1st ed.

One of the best descriptions of the nature and implications of Darwinian evolution ever written. Dennett argues that Darwinian processes are the central organising force in the Universe. Dennett asserts that natural selection is a blind and algorithmic process which is sufficiently powerful to account for the generation and evolution of life including the ins and outs of human minds and societies.
