Darwin, the Bible, and Tragedy

Read Now Download Now ⏭ listen AudioBook
Description:Although their vocabularies differ, biologists, biblical authors, and serious playwrights describe the paradox that Charles Darwin outlined in The Origin of Species (1859) when he observed the coexistence of a drive for permanence and a contrasting capacity to deviate from, modify, or transform established identities. That coexistence and interaction generates evolutionary consequences reported by notable dramatic and biblical works. The Hebrew Torah, the Books of Ecclesiastes, Job, and Matthew, and plays by Shakespeare, O'Neill, and Beckett project a convergence of constancy and variation. Their principal literary techniques-their challenge-response narrative design, rhetorical repetitions, and metaphorical associations-translate Darwin's biological paradox into a recurring ethical dilemma. An evolutionary contradiction sets the template for a problem repeated in belief systems transmitted by masterpieces of Western literature. Biological existence wavers between the preservation and metamorphosis of identity. So too does cultural life. In order to flourish, nature's organisms and civilization's ethical or religious models require stability, but when stressed by social or environmental challenge they also require flexibility. Like the welfare of an animal species, the welfare of literary characters representing some traditional mode of conduct depends upon the resolution of this contest. Tragic characters enact a toxic evolutionary sequence: they strive to maintain a constant identity, but their radical reaction to stress compromises it. In contrast, some characters in both Testaments are more successful, while responding to social, environmental, or ethical challenges, when they take advantage of the adaptive variant offered by a supernatural presence. The variant reconstructs (adapts), not just reiterates, an established identity. Surprisingly, the stories, images, and rhetorical techniques of religious chronicles reflect Darwin's paradox and its varied consequences. The supreme necessity to implement a balanced adaptation will serve as our central subject, and The Origin of Species, though silent on literary accounts of that endeavor, will serve as our guide.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
