.Ruse, Michael

[?-] Philosopher. Author or editor of books including "Darwinism Defended" (197?), and "But Is It Science?" (1988). Testified for the plaintiffs in the 1981 Arkansas Act 590 "Balanced Treatment" trial. Ruse's philosophical viewpoint is clearly reflected in Judge Overton's decision. Ruse came under fire from fellow philosophers Larry Laudan and Philip Quinn for his testimony in the Arkansas trial; he has subsequently backed away from the stance he took. (See "But Is It Science?" and Ruse's talk at the 1993 (?) AAAS session sponsored by the NCSE.)
