Original Paperback. Condizione: Gut. Ill.; 287 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Very good and clean. - Carpenter's support for Huxley in the fifties and sixties brings me to my last point. Although x Club agitation was primarily for secular and naturalistic ends, it enjoyed the backing of many young Christian biologists in the city. Carpenter for one, the Methodist anatomist and proverbial boffin W. K. Parker for another, and of course the Broad Churchman Flower, arguably the best museum curator last century: all shared Huxley's financial fears and "professionalising" concerns. All wanted Natural History knocked into shape as a professional (i.e. reputable) discipline, which invariably meant ousting the spider-stuffers, country parsons and the like. Christian surgeons, the affable Flower and Huxley's Calvinistic colleague, J. W. Hulke, who did so much of the palaeontological donkey work, admittedly kept a low profile, nevertheless their presence was probably crucial. From this fact alone it should be clear that what we are investigating is not the wearisome 'warfare' history of old. Never was it simply a matter of Church-baiting rationalists triumphing over religious obscurantism, but a more subtle attempt, jointly undertaken by 'agnostics', deists and some Christians, to professionalise science and put it at the disposal of the mercantile middle classes. Hence the inevitable opposition of the Oxbridge dons, in the service, so to speak, of the traditionally antagonistic landed party, with its diametric social and moral order. Not to put too fine a point on it, the debate - even as it affected palaeontology - was probably as much about the kind of social order that should prevail, democratic or aristocratic, as whether natural theology still had a place in evolutionary theory, although in the final analysis the two factors will undoubtedly be found to be inextricably related.So my strategy, broadly speaking, will be to investigate how far abstruse debates over mammal ancestry or dinosaur stance reflected the cultural context and the social commitment of the protagonists, and as a result to determine the extent to which ideological influences penetrated palaeontology to shape it at both the conceptual and factual level.
