Darwin as a historiographer

i-b43bf105e1f25ae34f00031b090ab74b-9781405149082_Small.jpg I was very pleased to receive today my copy of this book:

A Companion to the Philosophy of History and Historiography, edited by A. Tucker. Chichester UK: Wiley-Blackwell.

I got it because on pp 405-415 is my essay "Darwin", which I am rather proud of. I have long thought that Darwin as a philosopher of history is undervalued, but much more interesting than Hegel or Marx. Anyway, if you don't tell anyone, I have made a rough scan available here, although you really ought to make your library buy a copy.

It all seems so much clearer to me now. I really learned a great deal from this. Don't tell anyone, but I am going to print a copy of this and save it.

Thanks, John.

Does the book cost $8,500.00? If not, how can it be any good?
