4 A Solution: Organismic Darwinism

(20) It should not, perhaps, be necessary to burden the world with yet another presentation of Darwinian theory. Yet, insofar as the substance of this article is concerned with alleged misunderstandings of this theory it will be as well for me to present my own version--not least because it may transpire, through criticism, that it is actually my version that is mistaken!

(21) Perhaps more importantly, I have spent some years struggling with Darwinian theory, trying to ensure that I have grasped it fully. I am still not at all sure that I have succeeded; but I am satisfied that it is a more complex, and subtle, theory that is generally admitted, especially in the popular literature. This, in itself, persuades me to attempt a fresh presentation.

(22) I take the theory of Organismic[3] Darwinism, denoted tex2html_wrap_inline1550 , to involve a number of separate theses, which I shall now describe in detail.
