Excerpt from Evolution
Question: if we accept the Theory of Evolu tion as true in science, how should it modify the thought and action of a man who wishes to do his best in this world? The question is necessary because we find that different and inconsistent conclusions on the point have been reached by men speaking in the name of science and speaking with authority. These differences are due not to anything in science, but to certain extra-scientific assumptions. To test the worth Of such assumptions is the work of philosophy; and this volume is accordingly an essay in philosophy. Science is but organised common sense. Science and Religion both claim to deal with realities. The realism of common sense, therefore, the form of philosophy to which both seem to point, is that which is set forth here.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the relationship between evolutionary theory and the ethical aspects of human existence. The author begins by outlining the optimistic view of evolution, which sees it as a process of progress and improvement. This view, however, is challenged by the author, who argues that evolution is not inherently good or evil and that it can lead to both positive and negative outcomes. The author then explores the implications of this for human morality, arguing that our ethical values are not simply the product of evolution but are also shaped by our own conscious choices. The author concludes by suggesting that we need to develop a new understanding of evolution that takes into account both its positive and negative aspects and that allows us to make informed choices about how we use it. This book is a valuable contribution to the debate about the relationship between science and religion. It challenges the simplistic view that evolution is incompatible with morality and offers a more nuanced understanding of the complex relationship between the two.
