Abstract
This paper is a brief commentary on the specifi c proposal advanced by Jagers op Akkerhuis, Spijkerboer, and Koelewijn in the present volume (Chap. 6) on how Darwinian evolutionary theory could be generalized. However, I want to take the opportunity to present a broader criticism of Generalized Darwinism that focuses on what in my view is the fundamental epistemological problem faced by Generalized Darwinism (Sect. 7.1) and the ontological solution that proponents of Generalized Darwinism offer (Sect. 7.2). On the basis of this criticism, I will examine the proposal by Jagers op Akkerhuis and coauthors and argue that while the proposal is a very useful way ahead toward the formulation of Generalized Darwinism, that is toward constructing a formalism for Generalized Darwinism into which all cases of Darwinian evolution can be fi tted, it is insuffi cient as an ontological solution to the foundational ontological problem that Generalized Darwinism faces (Sect. 7.3).
