The second part shifts focus to key thinkers such as Erasmus Darwin and Lamarck, analyzing their philosophies through extensive quotations from works like Zoonomia and Philosophie Zoologique. Butler corrects misconceptions about Lamarck, clarifying his philosophical position and evolutionary framework. He also considers the contributions of Patrick Matthew, the Geoffroy Saint-Hilaires, and Herbert Spencer. The later chapters compare Lamarckian evolution with Darwin’s theory, critiquing the ambiguities and limitations of “natural selection.” Ultimately, Butler seeks to reconcile the “old” and “new” theories, offering a refreshed perspective on the meaning and direction of evolution.

За авторот

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.
