A propos de cet article

6th edition hardback in original cloth Very Good octavo viii + 356pp., Balfour is thought to have formulated the basis for the evolutionary argument against naturalism. Balfour argued the Darwinian premise of selection for reproductive fitness cast doubt on scientific naturalism, because human cognitive facilities that would accurately perceive truth could be less advantageous than adaptation for evolutionarily useful illusions. He was a member of the Society for Psychical Research, a society studying psychic and paranormal phenomena, and was its president from 1892 to 189432pp. publishers' catalogue bound at rear.
