Welcome
I'm writer / philosopher Ed Gibney and I'm using this site to explain what I'm doing with my work. Like Dostoyevsky, Kafka, Sartre, Camus, Simone de Beauvoir, Upton Sinclair, Ayn Rand, Iris Murdoch, Robert Pirsig, Rebecca Goldstein, Irvin Yalom, Daniel Quinn, and many others, I write fiction to illustrate and explore the philosophical beliefs I hold. This worldview is best contained within a school of thought called Evolutionary Philosophy and it is one that I hope to clarify and refine here as well. To anyone familiar with the fields of evolutionary biology, evolutionary psychology, evolutionary linguistics, etc., this term is clear—Evolutionary Philosophy applies findings from the study of our shared evolutionary history to the shared eternal questions we ask in philosophy. While there are many thinkers who do this, there are surprisingly few, if any, who use this exact terminology to label their thinking. I hope that changes soon. For my part in helping that change come along, I see evphil.com as:

For my part in helping that change come along, I see evphil.com as:
- An experiment to list ideas within a new school of philosophy
- A means to expose those ideas to competition, cooperation, variation, and selection—i.e. to the power of evolution
- A platform to share fiction and non-fiction works that expound upon this collection of ideas
