Sinopsis
This book explores the evolution of the theory of evolution by contrasting it with the ideas of classical philosophies, in particular, the school of thought that emerged from medieval scholasticism. The author argues that the ideas of gradual development and adaptation, which form the basis of Darwin's theory, were not alien to the medieval philosophers. Using the works of leading scholastics such as St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Augustine as a point of reference, the author traces the roots of evolutionary ideas in the medieval era. The book does not stop there, but also delves into the complexities of the evolution debate, acknowledging the gaps in our knowledge and highlighting the ongoing scientific inquiry that continues to grapple with the question of the origins of life.

Excerpt from The Idea of Development
The theory of evolution is necessarily based on facts, and consequently, until the facts which tell against it have received a really sufficient explana tion, it must remain a mere hypothesis of greater or less probability. But as regards the principles used in constructing this theory, these are all to be found in scholasticism - that philosophy which is, and must remain, perennially true, because, although not all its conclusions either are, or pretend to be, the last possible word on the subjects brought under con sideration, yet its principles are for the most part immutably fixed in the nature of things, and there fore render it in any essential the philosophy of all time. As Newman expresses it in his Idea of a University (discourse V.)

Excerpt from The Idea of Development
Whosoever departs from scholastic principles undermines reason and imperils faith. These principles will remain for ever unmoved, because they are founded in Nature; they constitute the imperishable basis of that relation which exists between the human intelligence and the things that are. Nevertheless, they are principles, not ultimate conclusions. Wherefore Leo XIII., in his encyclical "Æterni Patris," while he warns us that it is both futile and dangerous to attempt "patrimonio antiquæs apientiæ posthabito, nova moliri," yet encourages us "vetera novis augere et perficere." When, then, any more or less new conception is presented to us, it is the part of the judicious philosopher not to reject it out of hand, but to examine it in the light of scholastic principles, and to see how far it is compatible and how far incompatible with them. It is in the light of these principles that I have here endeavoured to treat of the theory of Evolution. By Evolution I understand a process governed by three laws - Variation, Selection, and Heredity. Yet the whole is hypothetical, and as such I treat it.
