The analytic section will be limited to a review of literature on Evolutionism. Heuristic, or discovery, will be
a separate section, although analytic, to determine problems that arose concerning Evolutionism in the survey of literature.
The analytic survey of literature will review 120 twentieth-century Neo-Scholastics to determine their positions on Evolutionism.
All of the subjects of this survey would have had training in scholastic thought. Not all of the subjects of the survey became
professional philosophers. Not all of the subjects of the survey wrote books specifically on Evolutionism, or directly on
Neo-Scholastic philosophy. Nevertheless, the survey should show how those trained in a Neo-Scholastic manner would approach
the modern world, with a problem like Evolutionism, a contemporary reality and an object of great interest.

The synthetic section of this project will be limited by the preparation of an academic course on Evolutionism,
the philosophy of evolution. Each of the thirteen theses will be stated, given a philosophical background, then philosophically
proved to the extent possible, and critiqued as to certitude. Every attempt will be made to prepare an academic course on
Evolutionism following the lead of twentieth-century Neo-Scholastics.
