The Lowell Lectures On The Ascent Of Man

Bag om The Lowell Lectures On The Ascent Of Man

The Lowell Lectures On The Ascent Of Man by Henry Drummond is a thought-provoking and insightful book that explores the evolution of humanity from a spiritual and philosophical perspective. Drummond, a Scottish evangelist, theologian, and lecturer, delivered these lectures in Boston in 1893, and they were later published in book form.The book is divided into seven chapters, each of which delves into a different aspect of the ascent of man. Drummond begins by discussing the concept of evolution and how it relates to the spiritual development of humanity. He then explores the role of love in human evolution, arguing that it is the most powerful force in the universe and the key to humanity's progress.Drummond goes on to examine the relationship between science and religion, arguing that they are not mutually exclusive but rather complementary. He also discusses the importance of faith in human evolution, drawing on examples from history and personal experience.Throughout the book, Drummond emphasizes the importance of personal growth and transformation in the ascent of man. He argues that each individual has the potential to evolve spiritually and that this evolution is essential for the progress of humanity as a whole.Overall, The Lowell Lectures On The Ascent Of Man is a fascinating and thought-provoking book that offers a unique perspective on the evolution of humanity. It is a must-read for anyone interested in spirituality, philosophy, and the intersection of science and religion.One seldom-raised yet not merely curious question of Evolution is, why the process should be an evolution at all? If Evolution is simply a method of Creation, why was this very extraordinary method chosen? Creation tout d'un coup might have produced the same result; an instantaneous act or an age-long process would both have given us the world as it is? The answer of modern natural theology has been that the evolutionary method is the infinitely nobler scheme. A spectacular act, it is said, savours of the magician. As a mere exhibition of power it appeals to the lower nature; but a process of growth suggests to the reason the work of an intelligent Mind. No doubt this intellectual gain is real.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
