"The Influence of Darwin on Philosophy, and Other Essays in Contemporary Thought" by John Dewey is a set of essays that discusses how Darwin's theory of evolution changed how people thought about philosophy, knowledge, and right and wrong in the early 1900s. Dewey's writing explores how the idea of evolution questioned old beliefs in unchanging truths and morals. The book starts by talking about how Darwin's work caused a big shift in thinking, moving away from the idea of set ideas to the idea of constant change, and that this change applies to both science and moral ideas. This first part sets the stage for understanding how different philosophies are connected and why philosophy needs to keep up with scientific discoveries.
