Opis: Darwin and the Humanities, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint) - Baldwin James Mark

Charles Robert Darwin, the famous English naturalist and geologist is the central focus of James Mark Baldwin's book <i>Darwin and the Humanities</i>. By introducing the theory of "natural selection" Darwin earned the title Father of Evolution. He singlehandedly identified the process of selective breeding or "natural selection" in which desirable traits are replicated and undesirable traits are removed from the gene pool as an evolutionary process and thereby changed the face of modern science.<br><br>The purpose of Baldwin's book on Darwin is to explore the influence and impact Darwin has left on science, especially the "Mental and Moral" sciences. Baldwin does his best to explore the topic in plain speech, or layman's terms, to allow a reader of any background and education the ability to understand his examination of Darwin's legacy. Baldwin hopes that his discussion of Darwin will be useful to future scientists, and future philosophers. His main objective is to stimulate conversation among students on these topics. "I hope, therefore, that this little book may serve to stimulate others, especially students of the further humanities, Anthropology, Philology, Political Science, Literary Criticism, etc., to make careful survey of their respective fields with such an end in view."<br><br>Ultimately, <i>Darwin and the Humanities</i> is a captivating exploration of both the famous naturalist and the effects scientific achievements have on other areas of study. By observing Baldwin's exploration we can learn ways to explore the effects of science upon the interests we enjoy in our own lives and scholarly pursuits. Thanks to Baldwin's thoughtfulness of the layman, those of any background and education should be able to understand and appreciate the ingenuity of Darwin's work via this incomparable text.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
