A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

No shadow of reason can be assigned for the belief that variations which have been the groundwork, through natural selection, of the formation of the most perfectly adapted animals in the world, were intentionally and specially guided (F ar. A ns. and Pts., 1st ed. vol. ii. 431). The old argument from design in Nature fails, now that the law of natural selection has been discovered. There seems to be no more design in the variability of organic beings, than in the course which the wind blows (L ife and Letters, i. 309). ARISTOTLE. Nature makes all things for some end, ij Qt ot; ft tx rov iron! irotv Tet (D epartibus, i. 1, 6). Since we see several causes existent in nature, as the final cause on the one hand, and the efficient cause on the other, it is for us to determine in their regard, which is by nature the first, and which the second. But that is seen to be first which we call the final cause, design. For this is reason, but reason is the principle alike in the things of art and in the things of nature. In these latter, however in the works of nature, the final cause and the good is more plainly manifest than in the works of art, for necessity does not similarly obtain in them (D epartibus, i. 1, 2).
