Order of Importance in Gould's Non-Moral NatureMany things can be put in order. Time, people, and events can all be placed in a logical order. How things are put in order can greatly affect their impact. In Gould's Nonmoral Nature, the order in which he presents the different points of view is very important. He uses scientists who have dominated their profession but who are not known at the beginning and middle of his writings. However, to close his work, he uses the eminent scientist Darwin to leave a lasting impression on the reader. Gould's use of order greatly affects how people perceive his work. Gould's order has two effects on the reader. First, by placing Darwin last, it allows the reader to become familiar with the ideas of some great minds that the reader may not have been exposed to before. The reader can then think about these ideas that have been presented to them and compare them with their own thoughts and ideas. Darwin is known for his theories, so people are more likely to equate their ideas with his. If Gould were to put Darwin's view first, the reader might be less likely to agree with some of the other ideas presented in Nonmoral Nature. By placing Darwin last, Gould allowed the reader to form their own opinion and then compare it to Darwin's ideas in the conclusion of the story. The second effect of Gould's use of order is that the reader, having read Darwin last, may be more inclined to believe the other evidence presented in the story. Darwin is a well-known man and held in high esteem for his studies. With these attributes to his name, Darwin leaves a lasting impact on the reader. Once the reader has formed his own thoughts and ideas on the question of non-moral nature, he has the opportunity to use Darwin's ideas for the benefit of his own thinking..
