Die Ordnung der Natur

  • Chapter
Auf Grenzpfaden der Biologie

Part of the book series: Offene Wissenschaft ((OWE))

  • 27 Accesses

Zusammenfassung

Ordnung und Evolution sind nicht deckungsgleiche Seinszustände einer «Natur an sich», sondern vielmehr komplementäre Sichtweisen in der Auseinandersetzung des Menschen mit der Natur. Diese These wird gestützt durch die Analyse der Geschichte des Artbegriffes sowie durch die Widerlegung des Anspruches der Wissenschaft auf eine endgültige Ordnung der Natur, hervorgebracht durch ordnende Mechanismen der Evolution.

Abstract

Order and evolution are not identical and absolute qualities of nature but rather complementary aspects of nature as it reveals itself to the inquiring man. This thesis is corroborated by an analysis of the history of the notion of species as well as by a refutation of the scientific claim that a unique order, produced by ordering mechanisms of evolution, must necessarily be hypothesized to exist.
