ABSTRACT
If I say that I have taken some care with the title for the collection now before you, this pretentious-sounding claim should not be taken to mean that others do not take care with what they call their books, or that this is a new departure for me. Indeed, I am rather proud of one or two of my earlier titles. What I mean is that you should take seriously the thought that, while this is a collection of articles written independently of each other over the past decade, it is nevertheless a collection with a strong underlying connecting theme, a philosophy which I call ‘evolutionary naturalism’.
