'The End of Evolution' points towards a future hypothetical - and morally desirable - culmination of evolution which will be both transcendentalist and anti-fundamentalist, idealist and anti-materialist, metaphysical and anti-metachemical, and therefore it provides a structured blueprint for a credible alternative to worldly norms. In that respect, this title is beyond any gender-fudging utopian reductionism and/or fudged eschatology of traditional alpha-stemming religion, presupposing, as it does, a Nietzschean transvaluation of values likely to culminate in an unequivocal commitment to omega-orientated criteria. Thus the 'end' of evolution is a goal that has nothing in common with anti-evolutionary fatalism or pessimism or an overly 'realistic' scepticism with regard to the estimable task of 'world overcoming'. Its appeal can only be to idealists.
