The progressive encroachment of biologism on our thinking about ourselves and the capitulation of the humanities before pseudo-sciences such as evolutionary psychology is a disaster. Getting Darwin Wrong - a lucid, scholarly, account of the rise of 'Darwinitis' and a demolition of its claim to add anything other than truisms or fallacies to our understanding of human behaviour - is timely and of immense importance. It should be required reading for students of psychology and, indeed, anyone who imagines that Darwinian thought requires us to deny the vast gulf between ourselves and the rest of the animal kingdom."Thus, notions of natural and mathematical law are, at least to some extent, a holdover from Platonic metaphysics and Pythagorean mathematical mysticism".
