Synopsis

This book explores an intriguing reimagining of the theory of evolution as a concept that unifies all fields of knowledge and action. The author argues that, consistent with the perspective of evolution, the physical world is a dynamic, interconnected web of phenomena, each element of which is in constant interaction with all others. The author traces the implications of this understanding throughout the spectrum of human inquiry, from science and philosophy to religion, demonstrating that all forms of knowledge are deeply interconnected. By exploring the ways in which evolution has shaped our understanding of the world, the author provides a thought-provoking and nuanced analysis of the relationship between science, philosophy, and religion, challenging conventional boundaries and offering a comprehensive framework for comprehending the nature of reality.

Présentation de l'éditeur

We do two most undesirable thines: we make the notion so inflexible as to strangle our intellectual powers, and we struggle with the theory itself as something which we would gladly escape. We hope to bring some relief at both of these points ;to show that evolution Is not a conception in extinction of reason, nor yet a movement in overthrow of faith. Our spiritual life Is Involved in It and built up by it as I ts most comprehensive and consummate product. We In no way grasp our religious beliefs so firmly as when we see that they are woven into the entire web of events.
