Darwinian conservatism?

Larry Arnhart at Darwinian Conservatism presents a new and clever challenge to traditionalists, promoting Darwinism in a way that purports to be respectful of conservative values and concerns. I have a feeling that Arnhart will not be as risible and as easily dismissible as the Theistic Darwinians, who say that God did indeed create life and man, but that he did it through a process of random mutation! Side-stepping the obvious absurdities of the Theo-Darwinian Synthesis, Anhart in his present blog entry proposes “Darwinian natural right” as the conservative alternative to “Bloomian-Nietzschean nihilism.” Chew on that for a while.
