Abstract
The result of a reflection about the relationship between the Platonism and the Darwinism, appears to conclude only that both sides are incompatible among each other, which leads to the definitive refutation of the first by the last. The objective of the following considerations is to question this opposition and to show that logically it is possible and, further more, that it's a wise election, to be at the same time Darwinist and Platonist. For doing so I will start, in first place by outlining some of the basic doctrines of Platonism. Then I will argue the relationship between Darwinism and Platonism regarding the idea of truth, the idea of good, and the idea of beauty. Finally, due to the fact that it has always been granted to the Platonism a great importance to the theological thought, and that it has been integrated once and again with the theism (even when there are atheist forms of Platonism and non-Platonic theist forms), I will end with some programmatic reflections about the relationship between the Darwinism and a theleological and theist vision of the world.
