Synopsis

Medicine, morality, and the limits of science collide in a landmark 1880 address that asks how faith and clinical care can inform each other.

This nonfiction work surveys a heated era when evolution and materialist philosophy challenged traditional views of life, mind, and death. It argues that medicine thrives not only on facts and techniques but also on a sense of duty, purpose, and the possibility of something beyond the material world. The author calls for courage to speak honestly about spiritual questions while remaining faithful to medical truth.

  • Explore the critique of a purely materialistic view of life and the mind.
  • Consider how physicians are urged to balance scientific rigor with moral and spiritual concerns.
  • See historical references to Darwin, Haeckel, and others shaping the debate around science and religion.
  • Reflect on the ongoing question of immortality, free will, and the role of patient care.
Ideal for readers of medical history, science-and-religion debates, and anyone interested in how ethics shape the practice of healing.
