Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Metaphysics of Evolution' is a sophisticated philosophical examination of the conceptual foundations and implications of evolutionary theory. Written by the esteemed scholar Thomas Whittaker, this work delves into the intersection of biological science and metaphysical inquiry, challengi…ng the boundaries between empirical observation and speculative thought. Whittaker explores how the process of evolution reshapes our understanding of reality, purpose, and the nature of the absolute.Through a series of rigorous essays, the author addresses the teleological aspects of life and the philosophical challenges posed by a world in constant flux. The text provides a deep dive into the historical development of evolutionary ideas, evaluating their impact on traditional systems of thought while proposing a synthesis that accounts for both change and permanence. 'The Metaphysics of Evolution' stands as a significant contribution to early 20th-century intellectual history, offering a compelling perspective on how scientific progress informs our deepest metaphysical convictions. It remains an essential read for those interested in the philosophy of science, the history of ideas, and the perennial search for meaning within the natural world.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - What conclusions do the facts of cosmic and organic evolution require or permit on the origin and destiny of the world and the individual From 1881 to 1925 Thomas Whittaker, an Oxford-trained scientist turned philosopher, grappled with this question,… which he tried to answer by metaphysical interpretation of the sciences. The majority of the essays in this volume first appeared in Mind, and a few in other journals, while three had not been previously published. Whittaker ranges widely over some of the most daring theories of the past, from the early centuries of the common era (including Apollonius of Tyana and Origen), to the middle ages (including John Scotus Erigena and Nicholas of Cusa), the renaissance (Giordano Bruno, Shakespeare) and the early modern period. Whittaker's own view is that hypothesis and imagination are legitimate aids in the search for truth in both science and philosophy in a new synthesis.
