O ovoj e-knjizi
The first part raises fundamental questions about evolution and critiques the prevailing teleological views of Butler’s time. It examines Paley and the theologians, highlighting the failure of early evolutionists to recognize the teleological nature of their own arguments. The “Philosophy of the Unconscious” is introduced as an attempt to reconcile evolution with purpose. Butler then provides a historical sketch, focusing on pre-Buffonian thinkers and an in-depth analysis of Buffon’s life, style, and theories. Through this exploration, he uncovers the diverse causes proposed for species transformation and the complexities of early evolutionary thought.

O autoru
Samuel Butler was a 19th-century English novelist and essayist, best known for his sharp critiques of the hypocrisy within Victorian religion and morality. He spent part of his youth managing a sheep farm in New Zealand, an experience that later shaped his literary imagination. His notable work Erewhon uses satire and paradox to question social institutions and human nature, while writings like The Way of All Flesh critically examined the Bible and Christian faith. Though controversial during his time, his works have since been recognized for their modern insights. Butler persistently explored the contradictions of human existence and civilization, leaving behind a distinctive literary voice.
