Darwin Loves You: Natural Selection and the Re-Enchantment of the World by George Lewis Levine
jacquelynjoan's review
4.0
Very good, if a little redundant. Written a little like a thesis paper, and with long sentences, it seems like it should be boring, but it is not. It's not a happy-go-lucky book about how pretty the world is, but it shows how "thick with value" Darwin saw the world.
I put this book on my to-read list about 8 years ago when I was becoming agnostic and going through a depression. I was too afraid to read it then, but now after my second depression I felt it was time. I'm not sure it was exactly what I was looking for, but maybe it was. Things might not be as I thought they were when I was Catholic, but the world is still awe inspiring and people are still social creatures and there is still plenty for me to love and get excited about.
