Daniel C. Dennett’s Darwin’s Dangerous Idea (1995 HC/DJ) is a landmark work of evolutionary philosophy that explores how Darwin’s theory of natural selection reshapes biology, consciousness, ethics, culture, and the foundations of human thought. Dennett argues that evolution is a “universal acid” — a powerful, far‑reaching idea that transforms every field it touches, from genetics and neuroscience to religion and morality. Blending science, philosophy, and accessible explanation, he examines how complex life, intelligence, and meaning can emerge from simple, mindless processes. This influential volume remains essential reading for anyone interested in evolution, cognitive science, philosophy of mind, or the broader debate over science and human purpose, making this 1995 hardcover with dust jacket a strong collectible for scholars and enthusiasts.
