Evolution And Involution (1880) - George Thomson - Bog

Evolution and Involution is a philosophical work written by George Thomson in 1880. In this book, Thomson explores the concepts of evolution and involution, which he sees as the two fundamental forces of the universe. He argues that evolution is the process by which things become more complex and organized, while involution is the process by which things become simpler and less organized.Thomson also discusses the relationship between these two forces and their impact on human consciousness and society. He suggests that the evolution of human consciousness is linked to the evolution of society, and that involution can lead to the decay of both.Throughout the book, Thomson draws on a range of philosophical and scientific ideas to support his arguments, including the works of Darwin, Hegel, and Schopenhauer. He also explores the role of religion and spirituality in the evolution of human consciousness, arguing that these can be seen as forms of involution that help to balance the forces of evolution.Overall, Evolution and Involution is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of some of the key ideas that have shaped our understanding of the universe and our place within it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
