Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Theory of Life Deduced From the Evolution Philosophy Beneath the abstractions and generalizations of every system of philosophy, worthy of the name, there lies concealed what may be a theory or interpretation of life, using the word "life" in its deepest and widest possible signification. True of philosophical systems in general, this is preeminently so of the Evolution Philosophy. Nay, more: assuming the real worth of any system of philosophy to be properly determinable by the rationality, the logical consistency, and the practical value of its theory of life, we can hardly question the superiority of the Evolution Philosophy over the metaphysical systems which it is destined to supplant. It is no part of our present purpose to advance arguments in support of these propositions except in so far as the exposition presently to be laid before the reader may be considered in this light. No one at all familiar with the subject will need to be told that the central doctrines of the Evolution Philosophy, as herein set forth, are, to all intents and purposes, identical with the cardinal teachings of Herbert Spencer's Synthetic Philosophy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Evolution and the Origin of Life "To experience we refer, as the only ground of all physical inquiry. But before experience itself can be used with advantage, there is one preliminary step to make, which depends wholly on ourselves: it is the absolute dismissal and clearing of the mind of all prejudice from whatever source arising, and the determination to stand or fall by the result of a direct appeal to facts in the first instance, and of strict logical deduction from them afterwards." Sir John Herschel: Discourse on the Study of Natural Philosophy. "The fair question is, Does the newly proposed view remove more difficulties, require fewer assumptions, and present more consistency with observed facts than that which it seeks to supersede? if so the philosopher will adopt it, and the world will follow the philosopher - after many days."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Philosophy of Evolution IN presenting the following pages to the public, the author wishes it to be understood that he does not expect to convert any to a belief in evolution. He addresses those who accept the doctrine in some form or other as established, although he has endeavoured, as concisely as possible, to present the reader with the reasons for accepting it. Those who remain un convinced by the elaborate works of Darwin, Spencer, and others will probably not accept the views enunci ated in these pages, which, however, it is hoped, will not be unacceptable to many who wish to reconcile the theory of evolution with the highest aims of human thought.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of Life Of Life in 1872 gave rise to a good deal Of criticism, and was followed by much controversy for a few years. The criticism concerned both sections Of the work - that dealing with Heterogenesis, as well as the portion in which I endeavoured to establish the reality Of Archebiosis, though there was controversy only in regard to the latter subject. The absence Of controversy about Heterogenesis was due to the fact that I made no reply whatever to any Of the criticisms concerning this section Of my book. It was a kind Of subject which did not seem open to profitable discussion, especially with persons who declined to attempt to repeat the observations in question.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1918, this book presents Osborn's theory of the origin and evolution of life based on the principles of thermodynamics. Osborn argues that life is a manifestation of the interactions between energy and matter, and that the evolution of life is a result of the increasing complexity of these interactions.

Download or read book From Aristotle to Darwin and Back Again written by Etienne Gilson and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2009-09-28 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreword by Christoph Cardinal Schönborn Darwin’s theory of evolution remains controversial, even though most scientists, philosophers, and even theologians accept it, in some form, as an explanation for the variety of organisms. The controversy erupts when the theory is used to try to explain everything, including every aspect of human life, and to deny the role of a Creator or a purpose to life. The overreaching of many scientists into matters beyond the self-imposed limits of scientific method is perhaps explained in part by the loss of two important ideas in modern thinking—final causality or purpose, and formal causality. Scientists understandably bracket the idea out of their scientific thinking because they seek explanations on the level of material and efficient causes only. Yet many of them wrongly conclude from their selective study of the world that final and formal causes do not exist at all and that they have no place in the rational study of life. Likewise, many erroneously assume that philosophy cannot draw upon scientific findings, in light of final and formal causality, to better understand the world and man. The great philosopher and historian of philosophy, Étienne Gilson, sets out to show that final causality or purposiveness and formal causality are principles for those who think hard and carefully about the world, including the world of biology. Gilson insists that a completely rational understanding of organisms and biological systems requires the philosophical notion of teleology, the idea that certain kinds of things exist and have ends or purposes the fulfillment of which are linked to their natures—in other words, formal and final causes. His approach relies on philosophical reflection on the facts of science, not upon theology or an appeal to religious authorities such as the Church or the Bible. “The object of the present essay is not to make of final causality a scientific notion, which it is not, but to show that it is a philosophical inevitability and, consequently, a constant of biophilosophy, or philosophy of life. It is not, then, a question of theology. If there is teleology in nature, the theologian has the right to rely on this fact in order to draw from it the consequences which, in his eyes, proceed from it concerning the existence of God. But the existence of teleology in the universe is the object of a properly philosophical reflection, which has no other goal than to confirm or invalidate the reality of it. The present work will be concerned with nothing else: reason interpreting sensible experience—does it or does it not conclude to the existence of teleology in nature?” —Étienne Gilson
