The Riddle Of The Universe At The Close Of The Nineteenth Century (1901)

The Riddle of the Universe at the Close of the Nineteenth Century is a philosophical and scientific book written by Ernst Haeckel and published in 1901. The book explores the fundamental questions of existence, such as the origin of life, the nature of consciousness, and the possibility of an afterlife. Haeckel was a prominent German biologist and philosopher who was known for his work on evolutionary theory and his advocacy for Darwinism. In this book, he argues for a materialistic view of the universe, in which everything can be explained through natural laws and scientific inquiry. He also discusses the role of religion in society and the need for a rational, scientific approach to understanding the world. The book was controversial at the time of its publication and sparked debates about the relationship between science and religion. Despite this, it remains an important work in the history of philosophy and science, and continues to be read and discussed today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
