Journal Article
The Evolution Versus Religion Controversy: How Two Mystiques Devolved Into Politics
2005
Overview
Caiazza discusses the irresolvable controversy of the last century, one not quite as old as the evolution controversy, and one which took place on different grounds in a different place, namely the Dreyfus Affair and its aftermath. Among other things, he describes how the affair caused the polarization of French political life, making no sense to some of the original group of Christian Dreyfusards, among them Charles Peguy. He remarks that Peguy's phrase about the degeneration of mystiques into politics helps explain why the great debate between evolution and religion still goes on, and which makes evolution constitutive of a political movement and not just another scientific theory.
