Bøger af Henry Calderwood

Evolution And Man�������s Place In Nature is a book written by Henry Calderwood in 1893. The book explores the concept of evolution and its impact on man's place in nature. Calderwood delves into the history of evolution, tracing its roots back to the ancient Greeks and examining the theories of Charles Darwin and other prominent scientists of the time. He also discusses the implications of evolution for religion and ethics, arguing that the theory does not necessarily undermine these traditional values. Throughout the book, Calderwood emphasizes the importance of recognizing the interconnectedness of all living things and the need for humans to take responsibility for their impact on the natural world. The book is a thoughtful exploration of a complex and controversial topic, and remains relevant today as debates about evolution and humanity's relationship with nature continue.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

First published in both New York and London in 1881, at a time of heated debates over the relationship between science and religion, this book arose from Henry Calderwood's Morse lectures given in association with Union Theological Seminary, New York in 1880. Calderwood, a Scottish clergyman, was professor of moral philosophy at Edinburgh University for over thirty years. He published on a wide range of subjects and devoted several books to the science/religion question, taking the line that theism and evolution were compatible. The present volume provides evidence of the lively international dimension of the late nineteenth-century intellectual engagement with evolutionary theory and related scientific and philosophical developments and is a valuable resource for historians of the subject.
