Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Readings From Huxley The pursuit of truth was the keynote of Huxley's life and work. Not that he was always right; as Sam Slick said, "there is a great deal of human nature in all mankind." Like the rest of us, though we must admit less often than the rest of us, he sometimes mistook error for truth; he held at various times, perhaps even at the same time, ideas inconsistent with one another. He was right more often than we, however, and he was able to add to the world's knowledge, to the sum of truth, not only because he had early learned from Carlyle the hatred of cant, humbugs, and shams, but also because his conception of truth provided a method of discovering and rejecting error. Huxley never regarded truth as final, but always as progressive. Like the pragmatist, he held it impossible to establish fixed and eternal truth by discovering and reasoning from the so-called laws of the universe; he rather sought by observation, deduction, and verification - i.e., by the scientific method - to generalise the facts of existence as we find them, and thus to arrive at rational certainty. In the scientific field, which was particularly his own, and which lends itself to a strict method of truth seeking and finding more readily (but no more justly) than do abstract subjects, this method was highly successful and led to the establishment of important truth. In the field of ethics, however, Huxley was less successful. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Scientific Memoirs of Thomas Henry Huxley When it was discovered that owing to a bibliographical obscurity we had omitted the later portions of Huxley's Survey Memoir on fossil fishes from our collection, it became necessary to issue a supplement containing the important work which we had inadvertently passed over. The opportunity is taken to add three interesting essays by Huxley, which, though not alto gether of the same character as the memoirs containing original discoveries of which this collection otherwise consists, yet have considerable interest for zoologists, and are not contained in the published edition of his more general essays.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life and Letters of Thomas Henry Huxley, Vol. 2 of 3 With the year 1870 comes another turning-point in Huxley's career. From his return to England in 1850 till 1854 he had endured four years of hard struggle, of hope deferred; his reputation as a zoologist had been established before his arrival, and was more than confirmed by his personal energy and power. When at length settled in the professorship at Jermyn Street, he was so far from thinking himself more than a beginner who had learned to work in one corner of the field of knowledge, still needing deep research into all kindred subjects in order to know the true bearings of his own little portion, that he treated the next six years simply as years of further apprenticeship.

Book excerpt: Although the Victorians were awash in texts, the Bible was such a pervasive and dominant presence that they may fittingly be thought of as 'a people of one book'. They habitually read the Bible, quoted it, adopted its phraseology as their own, thought in its categories, and viewed their own lives and experiences through a scriptural lens. This astonishingly deep, relentless, and resonant engagement with the Bible was true across the religious spectrum from Catholics to Unitarians and beyond. The scripture-saturated culture of nineteenth-century England is displayed by Timothy Larsen in a series of lively case studies of representative figures ranging from the Quaker prison reformer Elizabeth Fry to the liberal Anglican pioneer of nursing Florence Nightingale to the Baptist preacher C. H. Spurgeon to the Jewish author Grace Aguilar. Even the agnostic man of science T. H. Huxley and the atheist leaders Charles Bradlaugh and Annie Besant were thoroughly and profoundly preoccupied with the Bible. Serving as a tour of the diversity and variety of nineteenth-century views, Larsen's study presents the distinctive beliefs and practices of all the major Victorian religious and sceptical traditions from Anglo-Catholics to the Salvation Army to Spiritualism, while simultaneously drawing out their common, shared culture as a people of one book.

Download or read book Philosophy after Darwin written by Michael Ruse and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-06-08 with total page 593 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wittgenstein famously remarked in 1923, "Darwin's theory has no more relevance for philosophy than any other hypothesis in natural science." Yet today we are witnessing a major revival of interest in applying evolutionary approaches to philosophical problems. Philosophy after Darwin is an anthology of essential writings covering the most influential ideas about the philosophical implications of Darwinism, from the publication of On the Origin of Species to today's cutting-edge research. Michael Ruse presents writings by leading modern thinkers and researchers--including some writings never before published--together with the most important historical documents on Darwinism and philosophy, starting with Darwin himself. Included here are Herbert Spencer, Friedrich Nietzsche, Thomas Henry Huxley, G. E. Moore, John Dewey, Konrad Lorenz, Stephen Toulmin, Karl Popper, Edward O. Wilson, Hilary Putnam, Philip Kitcher, Elliott Sober, and Peter Singer. Readers will encounter some of the staunchest critics of the evolutionary approach, such as Alvin Plantinga, as well as revealing excerpts from works like Jack London's The Call of the Wild. Ruse's comprehensive general introduction and insightful section introductions put these writings in context and explain how they relate to such fields as epistemology, philosophy of mind, philosophy of language, and ethics. An invaluable anthology and sourcebook, Philosophy after Darwin traces philosophy's complicated relationship with Darwin's dangerous idea, and shows how this relationship reflects a broad movement toward a secular, more naturalistic understanding of the human experience.

Book excerpt: What happens when media and politics become forms of entertainment? As our world begins to look more and more like Orwell's 1984, Neil's Postman's essential guide to the modern media is more relevant than ever. "It's unlikely that Trump has ever read Amusing Ourselves to Death, but his ascent would not have surprised Postman.” -CNN Originally published in 1985, Neil Postman’s groundbreaking polemic about the corrosive effects of television on our politics and public discourse has been hailed as a twenty-first-century book published in the twentieth century. Now, with television joined by more sophisticated electronic media—from the Internet to cell phones to DVDs—it has taken on even greater significance. Amusing Ourselves to Death is a prophetic look at what happens when politics, journalism, education, and even religion become subject to the demands of entertainment. It is also a blueprint for regaining control of our media, so that they can serve our highest goals. “A brilliant, powerful, and important book. This is an indictment that Postman has laid down and, so far as I can see, an irrefutable one.” –Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post Book World
