Evolution Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Evolution Question: if we accept the Theory of Evolu tion as true in science, how should it modify the thought and action of a man who wishes to do his best in this world? The question is necessary because we find that different and inconsistent conclusions on the point have been reached by men speaking in the name of science and speaking with authority. These differences are due not to anything in science, but to certain extra-scientific assumptions. To test the worth Of such assumptions is the work of philosophy; and this volume is accordingly an essay in philosophy. Science is but organised common sense. Science and Religion both claim to deal with realities. The realism of common sense, therefore, the form of philosophy to which both seem to point, is that which is set forth here.

Excerpt from Organic Evolution Each chapter as it has been written has been referred to one or more of the author's colleagues for criticism, and, so far as possible, such criticisms have been met and suggested additions inserted.

Excerpt from The Case Against Evolution Evolution has been termed a necessary hypothesis. We have no quarrel with the phrase, provided it really means evolution as an hypothesis, and not evolution as a dogma.

Excerpt from Evolution and the War The way in which the distinction between men and animals is glossed over by the two fashionable schools of modern thought, and the misleading fashion in which observations on inheritance in plants and animals have been extended to human qualities, I have criticized in many occasional articles. The attempt towards a theory of consciousness which I sketch in this book is foreshadowed in my book on The Childhood of Animals, published in and in an address on Science and Life, published early in 1914.

Excerpt from The Meaning of Evolution Papa, who made me? I told him God, and he knew enough and was content with his knowledge. After a while he grew older and his inquisitive spirit began to puzzle with the question of how God had made him. When his growing mind was ready for the new knowledge I took him to my side and told him the great mystery of life. I told him how he owed to his father and to his mother the beginnings of his life, how God gave him to us. Now a new era opened in his childish mind. AS he grows on to greater maturity he cannot help wondering how the first man was made, how the trees, and the world came to be. He is no longer satisfied with the simple state ment that God made them. His eager mind wants to know, if may be, how God made them.
