Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, a discourse delivered at the 1877 German Association of Naturalists and Physicians meeting in Munich, is significant in the history of scientific debate and the ongoing tension between science and faith. At a pivotal time when Darwinism and theories of evolution were being widely discussed and debated, the author argues for skepticism and continued questioning, cautioning against turning scientific speculation into dogma. He emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between scientific facts and hypotheses, and advocates for the preservation of open enquiry and continued scientific research. The author's insistence on the importance of free enquiry remains influential in scientific discourse and his call for scientific humility and restraint is as relevant today as it was in the 19th century.
