Re: [xmca] Fodor against Darwin

[Tony Whitson <twhitson@UDel.Edu>]

To clarify the clarification: It is the issue linked from David's message, 
although that issue is not the current (this) issue.

Fodor isn't taken vary seriously on this. He takes some shots at forms of 
evolutionary psychology that are questionable, but then he tries to extend 
his argument to an argument that Darwinism cannot work in principle in the 
biological sphere. His training in philosophy does not equip him to 
contend against the scientists and mathematicians in their domains of 
expertise.

More relevant to some threads here might be, in the same issue
