As discussed in a previous post this morning has been an Honorary Doctorate , Professor Richard Dawkins. The title has been granted in recognition of work of many years in the field theory of evolution, which is a great scientist and a fervent defender of Darwinian theories. It is also known for his passionate defense of science and rationalism (declared as atheist, humanist and skeptic). For more information about your event endowment, you can see where in addition here you can read inter alia, his inaugural address and his laudatio, read by Professor Enrique Font. With the permission of Professor Enrique Font, I just got this post quoting one of the last sentences of his laudatio: "Beyond controversy point, his work contains a valuable lesson: that scientific pragmatism is not incompatible with the feeling awe and admiration that we produce the wonders of the natural world. Quite the contrary, science allows us to appreciate in its true dimension. There is real poetry in the real world, and science is the poetry of reality. "Something that referred to one of his famous books called" Unweaving the Rainbow ", which I recommend reading along with the" selfish gene "(which is not at all old of mode) for readers who have not read any of Professor Dawkins.
