Excursions Of An Evolutionist (1883) - John Fiske - Bog

""Excursions of an Evolutionist"" is a collection of essays written by John Fiske, an American philosopher and historian, and published in 1883. The book is a reflection of Fiske's interest in the theory of evolution and its impact on various aspects of human life, including religion, ethics, and social organization. The essays in the book cover a wide range of topics, from the history of science and the philosophy of evolution to the role of religion in human society. Fiske examines the works of Charles Darwin and other prominent scientists of the time, and discusses the implications of their theories for human understanding of the natural world. One of the central themes of the book is the conflict between science and religion, and Fiske argues that the two are not necessarily incompatible. He suggests that evolution can be seen as a natural process that is consistent with religious beliefs, and that science and religion can coexist in a harmonious way. Overall, ""Excursions of an Evolutionist"" is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the impact of evolutionary theory on human thought and society. It remains a classic work in the field of science and philosophy, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of ideas and the evolution of human knowledge.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
