Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Temple of Nature" is a lengthy didactic poem by Erasmus Darwin, the grandfather of Charles Darwin. The poem was published posthumously in 1803. Erasmus Darwin, a physician, natural philosopher, and poet, was known for his work in various fields, including natural history and the application of scientific principles to poetry. "The Temple of Nature" is a philosophical and scientific poem that explores Darwin's ideas on evolution, the interconnectedness of all living things, and the role of natural forces in shaping life. The poem is divided into four cantos, each addressing different aspects of the natural world and its processes. Key themes in "The Temple of Nature" include the idea of a universal, interconnected life force, the transformative power of nature, and the concept of evolution long before Charles Darwin's more famous work. Erasmus Darwin's poetic approach to scientific themes in this work reflects the Enlightenment-era interest in the synthesis of knowledge and the exploration of the natural world. The poem serves as a testament to Erasmus Darwin's intellectual breadth, combining his medical and scientific expertise with his poetic talents to present a holistic view of nature and life.

Book excerpt: Erasmus Darwin (1731-1802) was a famous physician, researcher, inventor and natural philosopher. In poetry and essays, he popularised the science of his time. He also presented a well thought out theory of evolution in all his major works, where he got around some of the traps that Jean-Baptiste Lamarck fell into when he published his theory in 1809. Erasmus' grandson, Charles Darwin, repudiated that he would have been influenced by his relative. He also played down his paternal grandfather's importance as a forerunner to the theory of evolution. Thus, for a long time, Charles Darwin affected how Erasmus was captured for posterity. He got a reputation for having produced only sketchy speculations about the origin of species, wrapped into an eccentric kind of popular science consisting of bad poetry. It was not until modern times that Erasmus Darwin was rediscovered by researchers in the history of science and ideas. He has now retrieved his place in history as one of the most original and perceptive scientific thinkers of his time. As a matter of fact, Erasmus Darwin's theory of evolution was quintessential for his natural philosophy. According to him, it was not only life that had developed from a simple original condition into more and more complicated organisms, but the whole universe had, through self-organising processes, developed from a formless chaos into the cosmos we now live in. The human progress should also be seen as a part of this universal tendency towards perfection. Erasmus Darwin was most probably an important source of inspiration for Robert Chambers' Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation (1844), where the same opinion is expressed of the progress of the universe, life and civilisation. Chambers' work is also an important forerunner of darwinism that has been belittled. The universe of Erasmus Darwin is cyclical. Our world will moulder when the constructions of the heavens have reached their culmination. Everything will return into the original chaos -- and a new glorious universe will emerge like a Phoenix from the ashes, with new hopes for the future. This idea, as modern as it may sound, is obviously inspired by ancient thoughts, perhaps most notably De rerum natura by Lucretius, but updated with deism, newtonism and the optimism of the enlightenment era. Here the aged Erasmus Darwin explains the philosophy he developed during his life. The Temple of Nature (1803) describes the genesis, evolvement and end of the universe -- and the place that humanity occupies in the world. It relates to the author's previous work The Botanic Garden (1791), but can be read independently. Timaios Press is now publishing The Temple of Nature in a modern volume, where the numerous Latin quotations have been provided with translations. The Botanic Garden will be released by Timaios later this year.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Darwin s book about his grandfather, The Life of Erasmus Darwin, is curiously fascinating. Before publication in 1879, it was shortened by 16%, with several of the cuts directed at its most provocative parts. The cutter, with Charles s permission, was his daughter Henrietta - an example of the strong hidden hand of meek-seeming Victorian women. This first unabridged edition, edited by Desmond King-Hele, includes all that Charles originally intended, the cuts being restored and printed in italics. Erasmus Darwin was one of the leading intellectuals of the eighteenth century. He was a respected physician, a well-known poet, a keen mechanical inventor, and a founding member of the influential Lunar Society. He also possessed an amazing insight into the many branches of physical and biological science. Most notably, he adopted what we now call biological evolution as his theory of life, 65 years prior to Charles Darwin s Origin of Species.
