It would be easy to write a feminist polemic denouncing men. This is not that book. Something is definitely up with men. From millions who follow Jordan Peterson to the #MeToo backlash, from men's rights activists and incels to spiralling suicide rates, it's easy to see that, while men still rule the world, masculinity is in crisis.

Splendid,joyful,insightful essay
Revisado: 02-26-24
In this essay, the author attempts to bridge the gap of misunderstanding between men and women. In the process of exploring the conflicts that be set modern relationships between men and women, the author offers many keen insights with an understated sense of humor that is utterly delightful. I strongly recommend.

In Feminism Against Progress, Mary Harrington argues that the industrial-era faith in progress is turning against all but a tiny elite of women. Women's liberation was less the result of human moral progress than an effect of the material consequences of the Industrial Revolution.

Darwinism and the Divine examines the implications of evolutionary thought for natural theology, from the time of publication of Darwin's On the Origin of Species to current debates on creationism and intelligent design. A thought-provoking exploration of 21st-century views on evolutionary thought and natural theology, written by the world-renowned theologian and best-selling author.

What did you love best about Darwinism and the Divine?
He is clear-headed, is non-dogmatic, does not manipulate with rhetoric--just says it like he sees it, and is deeply insightful.
What did you like best about this story?
I loved how in one chapter he calmly, methodically tells you both why William Paley's arguments (which one might call Intelligent Design 1.0) were the result of a misunderstanding of natural theology, then in another chapter he politely eviscerates meme theory. He is insightful and fair-minded. Another example (actually, this is the background to his criticism of William Paley) is his discussion of how the approach to natural theology adopted by Protestants in England during the Augustan age originated in the Anglican desire to find a suitable response to the Catholic miracle-centered apologetics: a focus on the lawfulness, orderliness of nature, which might be called "divine contrivance." McGrath points out how wrong-headed this was and contrasts it with Thomas Aquinas's approach. Very insightful
