- W625003838 abstract "THE American humiorist Mark Twain, when asked to explain why he wore a white suit, replied that clothes make the man, that naked people have little or no influence in society. Unlike Mark Twain, or his fellow countryman Alec Guinness, Charles Darwin was no man in a white suit. But he was a man who exerted a farreaching influence in society. If Darwin had done no more than change the methods and assumptions of the biological sciences, and contribute to the general store of scientific knowledge, he would still be an important figure in world history. The impact of his ideas was by no means limited to the sciences, however. His theory of evolution touched off a general intellectual revolution that altered the course of religious thought, re-directed the social sciences, and contributed new insights and slogans to the popular and academic varieties of social theory. The changes that flowed from the Darwinian revolution were so impressive as to suggest that it had unlimited transforming power. In the words of Bert J. Loewenberg, a pioneer student of this subject, Evolution germinated ideas wherever it penetrated, and it penetrated everywhere. 1 Just as historians of the American and French and Russian revolutions sometimes overestimated the extent to which these upheavals transformed the societies in which they occurred, so historians of the Darwinian intellectual revolution have sometimes misjudged the outer limits of its influence and overestimated the completeness of its sway. The tendency to exaggerate the impact of Darwinism, especially on popular thought, is nowhere better illustrated than in the claim that American businessmen in the postCivil War decades rationalized their personal careers and justified their business operations in terms of Herbert Spencer's competitive social version of Darwin's theory of evolution. Even the most casual examination of American" @default.
