Syllabus / What will i learn?

1. William Paley's problem: Does the existence of design (organized, self-sustaining, or self-reproducing systems) argue that there is a designer or organizer, an intelligent agency responsible for its creation?

2. Alan Turing and John Searle's problem: Can such allegedly designed systems be credited with intelligence themselves?

3. The place of Darwin's Origin and his idea of Natural Selection in the course of debates on the first two problems.

4. The implication of Darwin and Darwinism for ideas of nature and of mankind's place therein, as well as collateral, and often independent, manifestations of such undesigned worlds in literary texts.
