Description: How could Charles Darwin have all these impacts?
Dr Jon Hodge (University of Leeds, UK)

Summary: Were Darwin the English parson naturalist of legend, his vast impact would be paradoxical. See the young Darwin, not as failed Anglican cleric, but successful Scottish (and French and German) man of science and philosophy, an international intellectual indeed (more Edinburgh than Cambridge) and the paradox is lost.

Abstract: Biography: Jon Hodge studied undergraduate biology and history and philosophy of science at Cambridge, and then studied and taught at several North American universities before returning to England to take a position at the University of Leeds. Retired from teaching, he continues research into the history and philosophy of theories of creation and evolution. Two volumes of his papers have recently been published by Ashgate; with Gregory Radick, he has edited the Cambridge Companion to Darwin (now out in a second, revised edition).
