Synopsis
The Philosophy Of Evolution by Benjamin Thompson Lowne. This Actonian Prize Essay surveys the evidences for evolution from a physiologist’s point of view, arguing that evolutionary theory can be reconciled with religious belief when understood as a description of how energy and matter interact to produce the living world. Lowne contends that evolution is not atheistic and that the apparent conflict with revelation dissolves when one considers that science explains how organisms arise and adapt, while the ultimate 'why' of purpose remains inscrutable. The essay traces the nature and sources of evidence for evolution, including the continuity of energy and matter, the readjustment of structure under energy, and direct and indirect proofs such as the fossil record, biogeography, and homology. It then explores Darwin’s law of natural selection, variation, heredity, Pangenesis, nutrition, and development, advancing a physiologist’s interpretation of how organisms have acquired form and function over immense spans of time. The work acknowledges that some points are hypothetical and that the theory does not claim complete finality, but aims to present a coherent naturalistic account anchored in experimental observation.
