%0 Journal Article %T Fue Darwin el Newton de la brizna de hierba? %A Gustavo Caponi %J Principia : an International Journal of Epistemology %D 2012 %I Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Brasil %X Ratifying Haeckel and contradicting Kant¡¯s negative prophesy, in this paper I try to show that Darwin was, really, the Newton of the blade of grass. Darwin showed how the configurations according to goals of the living beings, could be explained from a naturalistic point of view, without having to postulate the existence of an intentional agent that had arranged or prearranged then. This achievement, nevertheless, was obtained by a way that Kant could not foresee and that Haeckel could not understand: Darwin came there showing that there was more natural science than that Newton, Kant and Haeckel could conceive. %K Darwin %K C. %K Haeckel %K E. %K Kant %K I. %K Newton %K I. %K Teleology. %U http://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/principia/article/view/1808-1711.2012v16n1p53/22771
