Abstract
Este artículo pretende poner de manifiesto la interrelación permanente entre dos metáforas darwinianas como “la orilla enmarañada”, presente en On the Origin of Species, y la relativa al “daltonismo”, mencionada en Autobiography, para demostrar la dudosa consistencia de interpretaciones que detectan un “encanto” secular latente en la Teoría de la Evolución y descartan un “desencantamiento”, en términos weberianos (Entzauberung).
