In addition, Darwinian biology came to be as one of the crucial analytical theories of human thinking. William James took the mechanism he found in Darwinian theory and applied it in his philosophy. The theory of evolution and the natural selection became for James fundamental hermeneutical issues for the developing of his philosophical ideas.
