Ian Hacking kritisiert Anti-Darwinismus und Intelligent Design:

Living With Darwin, Philip Kitcher’s brief and cogent manifesto, very rightly disagrees. Anti-Darwinism is, he says, dead science, recapitulating old stuff long abandoned. I prefer to call it degenerating.”

Philip Kitchers Buch “Living with Darwin” erschien im Dezember 2006 bei Oxford University Press. “Kitcher has just the combination of philosophical talent, biological insight, and wonderfully lucid writing needed to address the thorny problem of creationism. In Living With Darwin , he clearly shows that the persistent battle between evolution and creationism in America is part of a wider war–one between superstition and rationality.” (Jerry Coyne)
