Question
A thinker best known for promoting this theory used the image of a train’s steam-whistle to suggest that our mental events are an “epiphenomenon” with no causal impact. This theory’s use in namesake “debunking” arguments against moral realism is criticized in Thomas Nagel’s Mind and Cosmos. This theory is opposed by the “mousetrap analogy” of Michael Behe (“bee-hee”), who has been accused of seeking a “skyhook” by Daniel (*) Dennett. This theory was used to justify laissez-faire politics by the author of Social Statics, Herbert Spencer. The “Bulldog” Thomas Huxley defended this theory, which is opposed by theorists of “irreducible complexity” and “intelligent design.” For 10 points, name this theory put forth in The Origin of Species by Charles Darwin. ■END■
