Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'Evolution in the Light of Modern Knowledge a Collective Work' is a comprehensive and multidisciplinary examination of evolutionary theory as it stood in the early 20th century. This ambitious volume brings together contributions from some of the most distinguished scientific and philosophical minds of the era, including Sir James Jeans, to explore how the concept of evolution permeates nearly every branch of human understanding. The work moves beyond mere biological inquiry, extending the evolutionary principle into the realms of cosmogony, physics, geology, and even philosophy and religion.By synthesizing diverse perspectives, the book provides a panoramic view of a universe in flux. Readers will encounter rigorous discussions on the origins of the cosmos, the development of life on Earth, and the psychological and social progression of humanity. Each chapter serves as a testament to the transformative power of the evolutionary paradigm, illustrating how it revolutionized the scientific method and reshaped the intellectual landscape of the 1920s. This collection remains a significant historical document, capturing a pivotal moment when modern science sought to unify its various disciplines under a single, coherent framework of growth and change. It is an essential resource for those interested in the history of science and the philosophical underpinnings of evolutionary thought.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
