Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -We live in and form part of a system of things of immense diversityand perplexity, which we call Nature; and it is a matter of thedeepest interest to all of us that we should form just conceptions ofthe constitution of that system and of its past history. With relationto this universe, man is, in extent, little more than a mathematicalpoint; in duration but a fleeting shadow; he is a mere reed shakenin the winds of force. But as Pascal long ago remarked, although amere reed, he is a thinking reed; and in virtue of that wonderfulcapacity of thought, he has the power of framing for himself asymbolic conception of the universe, which, although doubtlesshighly imperfect and inadequate as a picture of the great whole, isyet sufficient to serve him as a chart for the guidance of hispractical affairs. It has taken long ages of toilsome and oftenfruitless labour to enable man to look steadily at the shifting scenesof the phantasmagoria of Nature, to notice what is fixed among herfluctuations, and what is regular among her apparent irregularities;and it is only comparatively lately, within the last few centuriesthat the conception of a universal order and of a definite course ofthings, which we term the course of Nature, has emerged. 54 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -In 'Lectures on Evolution,' Thomas Henry Huxley examines three primary hypotheses regarding the history of nature: the eternal existence of the current state of the world, the sudden creation of the world as described in Milton's 'Paradise Lost,' and the gradual evolution of life forms. Huxley dismisses the first hypothesis, arguing that geological and fossil evidence contradicts the notion of an eternal, unchanging world. The second hypothesis, which suggests a sudden creation, is also refuted by the fossil record, which shows a gradual progression of life forms rather than a simultaneous appearance. Huxley emphasizes the importance of circumstantial evidence, such as the fossil record, over testimonial evidence, which is often incomplete or unreliable. He highlights the persistence of certain species over millions of years, which challenges the idea of constant change but does not negate the possibility of evolution. Huxley argues that the hypothesis of evolution, which posits a continuous and natural progression of life forms, is the most consistent with the available evidence. He acknowledges the imperfection of the geological record but maintains that it supports the idea of gradual change over time. Huxley concludes that while evolution cannot be proven with absolute certainty, it is the most plausible explanation for the diversity and complexity of life on Earth.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 54 pp. Englisch.…
