Book excerpt: In 'Social Environment and Moral Progress', Alfred Russel Wallace explores the intricate relationship between social circumstances and moral evolution.

Set against the backdrop of Victorian England, Wallace's work challenges conventional thinking on morality and social dynamics, offering a fresh perspective on the forces that shape human conduct. Alfred Russel Wallace, a renowned naturalist and social critic, draws on his extensive research and personal experiences to inform his exploration of social and moral issues in this seminal work. His deep commitment to advancing knowledge and fostering intellectual discourse is evident throughout the book, as he invites readers to contemplate the ethical implications of their social environments. 'Social Environment and Moral Progress' is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of society, morality, and human progress, offering valuable insights and provocative ideas that will resonate with contemporary readers.

Download or read book Nature's Prophet written by Michael A. Flannery and published by University of Alabama Press. This book was released on 2018-08-07 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An astute study of Alfred Russel Wallace’s path to natural theology. A spiritualist, libertarian socialist, women’s rights advocate, and critic of Victorian social convention, Alfred Russel Wallace was in every sense a rebel who challenged the emergent scientific certainties of Victorian England by arguing for a natural world imbued with purpose and spiritual significance. Nature’s Prophet:Alfred Russel Wallace and His Evolution from Natural Selection to Natural Theology is a critical reassessment of Wallace’s path to natural theology and counters the dismissive narrative that Wallace’s theistic and sociopolitical positions are not to be taken seriously in the history and philosophy of science. Author Michael A. Flannery provides a cogent and lucid account of a crucial—and often underappreciated—element of Wallace’s evolutionary worldview. As co-discoverer, with Charles Darwin, of the theory of natural selection, Wallace willingly took a backseat to the well-bred, better known scientist. Whereas Darwin held fast to his first published scientific explanations for the development of life on earth, Wallace continued to modify his thinking, refining his argument toward a more controversial metaphysical view which placed him within the highly charged intersection of biology and religion. Despite considerable research into the naturalist’s life and work, Wallace’s own evolution from natural selection to natural theology has been largely unexplored; yet, as Flannery persuasively shows, it is readily demonstrated in his writings from 1843 until his death in 1913. Nature’s Prophet provides a detailed investigation of Wallace’s ideas, showing how, although he independently discovered the mechanism of natural selection, he at the same time came to hold a very different view of evolution from Darwin. Ultimately, Flannery shows, Wallace’s reconsideration of the argument for design yields a more nuanced version of creative and purposeful theistic evolution and represents one of the most innovative contributions of its kind in the Victorian and Edwardian eras, profoundly influencing a later generation of scientists and intellectuals.

This book was released on 2015-07-16 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social Aspects of Christian Morality We open a book and read a few pages of an original mind; we say to ourselves This is 'what I myself have often thought, yet never could express so well in words or give it a local habitation. We find a large body of truth ready-made for every learner, and no man, not even the most original genius, creates anew the whole substance of his own thought. The solidarity of our knowledge is a fact patent to all. Nor is the solidarity of our conduct less evi dent. We inherit traditions from the family, the Church, the nation. We are taught to speak in a language which is already the possession of others and holds in its words a whole world of associa tion. Language, like society, is a social medium connecting us with other races who have expressed their ideas by Similar sounds. Further, from parents, brothers, sisters and teachers we begin to acquire our notions of propriety, of kindness, of duty. The nursery and the playground fill us with sentiments of honour and justice. School and college, shop and office are all institutions that contribute to our fitness for acting well our part, and shape our characters into the men we are to be. So powerful is the influence of this whole social environment that it is with difficulty we can afterwards escape from its influence and assert our independent judgment.

Download or read book Intelligent Evolution written by Michael A. Flannery and published by Erasmus Press. This book was released on 2020-08-12 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alfred Russel Wallace (1823–1913), co-discoverer of natural selection, was second only to Charles Darwin as the 19th century’s most noted English naturalist. Yet his belief in spiritualism caused him to be ridiculed and dismissed by many, leaving him a comparatively obscure and misunderstood figure. In this volume Wallace is finally allowed to speak in his own defense through his grand evolutionary synthesis The World of Life published over a century ago in 1910. More than just a reprinting of a near-forgotten work, Michael A. Flannery places Wallace in historical context and includes the very latest historiography relating to both Darwin and Wallace in his detailed introduction. Flannery exposes Charles Darwin’s now-famous theory of evolution as little more than a naturalistic cover for an extreme philosophical materialism borrowed as a youth from Edinburgh radicals. This is juxtaposed by his sympathetic account of what he calls Wallace’s intelligent evolution, a thoroughly teleological alternative to Darwin’s stochastic processes. Though based upon very different formulations of natural selection, the Wallace/Darwin dispute as presented by Flannery shows a metaphysical clash of worldviews coextensive with modern evolutionary theory itself—design and purpose versus randomness and chance. This book is for anyone seeking to understand the historical and philosophical roots of a controversy that still rages today. This book contains an abridgement of Alfred Russel Wallace's The World of Life and Reverend John Magens Mello's essay, “The Mystery of Life and Mind.” Michael A. Flannery is Professor Emeritus, UAB Libraries, University of Alabama at Birmingham. Professor Flannery has published extensively in medical history and bioethics, winning the prestigious Edward Kremers Award in 2001 for distinguished writing by an American from the American Institute of the History of Pharmacy, the Murray Gottlieb Prize in history by the Medical Library Association in 2002, and the 2006 Publishers Award of the Archivists and Librarians in the History of Health Sciences. This is his tenth book.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Nation's Peril: Social Ideals and Social Progress "The Fathers who created the Republic... grasped not only the whole race of man then living, but they reached forward and seized upon the farthest posterity. They erected a beacon to guide their children and their children's children and the countless myriads who should inhabit the earth in other ages. Wise statesmen as they were, they knew the tendency of prosperity to breed tyrants, and so they established these great self-evident truths, that when in the distant future some man, some faction, some interest, should set up the doctrine that none but rich men, or none but white men, or none but Anglo-Saxon white men were entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, their posterity might look up again to the Declaration of Independence and take courage to renew the battle which their fathers began, so that truth and justice and mercy and all the humane and Christian virtues might not be extinguished from the land: so that no man should thereafter dare to limit or circumscribe the great principles on which the temple of liberty was being built. "Now, my countrymen, if you have been taught doctrines conflicting with the Declaration of Independence; if you have listened to suggestions which would take away from its grandeur and mutilate the fair symmetry of its proportions, ... let me entreat you to come back. Return to the fountain whose waters spring close by the blood of the Revolution." - Abraham Lincoln, Lewiston Speech, August, 1858.

This book was released on 2023-03-02 with total page 722 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Handbook aims to provide a unique and convenient one-volume reference work, exhibiting the latest interdisciplinary explorations in this urgently burgeoning field of intellectual and practical importance. Due to its immense range and diversity, environmental politics and theory necessarily encompasses: empirical, normative, policy, political, organizational, and activist discussions unfolding across many disciplines. It is a challenge for its practitioners, let alone newcomers, to keep informed about the ongoing developments in this fast-changing area of study and to comprehend all of their implications. Through the planned volume’s extensive scope of contributions emphasizing environmental policy issues, normative prescriptions, and implementation strategies, the next generation of thinkers and activists will have very useful profiles of the theories, concepts, organizations, and movements central to environmental politics and theory. It is the editors’ aspiration that this volume will become a go-to resource on the myriad perspectives relevant to studying and improving the environment for advanced researchers as well as an introduction to new students seeking to understand the basic foundations and recommended resolutions to many of our environmental challenges. Environmental politics is more than theory alone, so the Handbook also considers theory-action connections by highlighting the past and current: thinkers, activists, social organizations, and movements that have worked to guide contemporary societies toward a more environmentally sustainable and just global order.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A New Basis for Social Progress In 1915 the Board of Trustees of the University of Pittsburgh, in order to produce a better and more properly functioning institution in the local environment, instituted a survey. This investigation extended in time over a period of nearly two years and led those engaged in the undertaking, as any attempt at analysis of an organization so large and so complex as that of our modern American university must inevitably lead, into many fields. The varied histories of our educational institutions of higher learning, their struggles, their reverses, their failures, their successes, and their present differences in degree of accomplishment, demonstrate the common comprehensiveness of the riddles which all are endeavoring to solve, and make clear the relationship which the problems confronting the local university bear to the general educational problem. During the past few years all parts of our educational equipment have been subjected to both sound and unsound criticism. Our universities especially have been weighed in many balances furnished for measurement and have fallen far short both in organization and accomplishment of the weight desired.

Download or read book The Evolution of Moral Progress written by Allen Buchanan and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-08 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Evolution of Moral Progress, Allen Buchanan and Russell Powell resurrect the project of explaining moral progress. They avoid the errors of earlier attempts by drawing on a wide range of disciplines including moral and political philosophy, evolutionary biology, evolutionary psychology, anthropology, history, and sociology. Their focus is on one especially important type of moral progress: gains in inclusivity. They develop a framework to explain progress in inclusivity to also illuminate moral regression--the return to exclusivist and "tribalistic" moral beliefs and attitudes. Buchanan and Powell argue those tribalistic moral responses are not hard-wired by evolution in human nature. Rather, human beings have an evolved "adaptively plastic" capacity for both inclusion and exclusion, depending on environmental conditions. Moral progress in the dimension of inclusivity is possible, but only to the extent that human beings can create environments conducive to extending moral standing to all human beings and even to some animals. Buchanan and Powell take biological evolution seriously, but with a critical eye, while simultaneously recognizing the crucial role of culture in creating environments in which moral progress can occur. The book avoids both biological and cultural determinism. Unlike earlier theories of moral progress, their theory provides a naturalistic account that is grounded in the best empirical work, and unlike earlier theories it does not present moral progress as inevitable or as occurring in definite stages; but rather it recognizes the highly contingent and fragile character of moral improvement.
