Abstract
Abstract Impressionistically delineating intellectual change from Darwin's time to our own, I compare poststructuralism with traditional humanism and set both in contrast to an evolutionary perspective on human nature. I also offer psychological and ideological explanations for the cultural constructivist fallacies that shaped thought in the humanities and social sciences through much of the twentieth century.
