Truth and Consequences in Evolution
Evolutionary theory is presented in its truth, not in its consequences. As theory, it presents the consequences of natural relations, and calls this “history,” and yet it never inquires into its consequences as theory. Truth-value supersedes and conceals effect as criterion for acceptance. This should be called its truth-structure. It remains to be investigated why and how evolutionary theory in particular has this truth-structure and why and how metaphysico-theology does not. This would be a genealogical, not natural-historical, as well as a logical and linguistic investigation.
