The main objective is to critically analyze the main existing interpretations of the “eclipse of Darwinism” and emergence of the “modern synthesis”, with particular emphasis on the philosophical assumptions adopted in these interpretations. Thus, interpretations by Ernst Mayr, Peter Bowler, Mark Largent and modern historians who challenge these perspectives are discussed and critically evaluated The analysis of the above interpretations makes it possible to determine how the philosophy of science limits the interpretation of the history of a given field, and also serves as a starting point for proposing an original interpretation of the above period in the history of evolutionary biology. The ultimate goal will therefore be a proposal of a new interpretative perspective to answer following questions: Why did the “eclipse of the Darwinism” occur? How should its origins to be understood? Why did it end (and why did the “modern synthesis” emerge)? Main thesis of this book is that the “eclipse” was a direct response to inconsistent ontology upon which Darwin built his theory of evolution. Darwin referred to terms and concepts rooted in the philosophy of essentialism, which was problematic, because he tried to apply these essentialist concepts to his vision of the ever-changing nature. Therefore, all of the anti-Darwinian theories characteristic to the “eclipse of Darwinism” and later to the “modern synthesis” were produced in an attempt to reconcile essentialism with evolution and thus to correct Darwin's philosophical “error.” The book will appeal to biologists, philosophers and historians alike. 0aEvolution (Biology).964762 0aBiologyxPhilosophy.969633 0aSciencexHistory.96523214aEvolutionary Theory.97999324aPhilosophy of Biology.96963524aHistory of Science.96610124aEvolutionary Biology.9661662 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303172592008iPrinted edition:z978303172594408iPrinted edition:z9783031725951 0aEvolutionary Biology – New Perspectives on Its Development,x2524-776X ;v898698340uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-72593-7  aZDB-2-SBL  aZDB-2-SXB  c64693d64693
