| Summary |
"With the publication of Darwin on Trial in 1991, UC Berkeley legal scholar Phillip Johnson became the leading figure in the intelligent design movement. Exposing the philosophical foundations of Darwinism, Johnson led the charge against its largely unquestioned assumptions of a materialistic reductionism and its purported basis in scientific research.This book reviews and celebrates the life and thought of Phillip Johnson and the movement for which he has served as chief architect. Editor William A. Dembski presents eighteen essays by reseach scientists and philosophers who have known and worked with Johnson for more than a decade. They provide personal and in-depth insight into not only the current issues but also the man, his convictions and his leadership of the intellectual movement that called into question the hegemony of Darwinian theory." -- book cover |
