teoría de la evolución, filosofía, ética, metafísica, epistemologíaResumen
En este artículo expongo varias de las importantes implicaciones que la investigación en la evolución y sus procesos ha tenido en la reflexión filosófica. En la siguiente sección menciono, de manera general algunos de los aportes e influencias más relevantes en varias de las ramas de la filosofía, tales como teología, metafísica, epistemología, filosofía de la ciencia, filosofía de la mente y ética. Posteriormente, en las secciones 3, 4 y 5, analizo con mayor detalle algunas consecuencias particulares que ha tenido la investigación evolutiva en tres áreas fundamentales de la filosofía: ética, metafísica y epistemología (explicación científica). También mencionaré algunas críticas. En la sección final enumeraré algunas conclusiones.
