Excerpt from Essays Speculative and Suggestive, Vol. 1
Not be apparent without a frank expression of the speculative thoughts that underlie them. I have, therefore, not shrunk from committing myself to theories and surmises which are advanced in no dogmatic spirit. To suggest ideas, to stimulate reflection, is the object of a book like this. At the same time, were I asked in what order these Essays ought to be studied, I should recommend most people to leave The Philosophy of Evolution.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book ruminates on the influence of the Evolutionary Hypothesis on our understanding of art and literature. The author argues that the shift towards scientific inquiry in the 19th century has led to a radical re-evaluation of the place of these subjects in the grand scheme of things. No longer viewed simply as objects of aesthetic contemplation or moral instruction, art and literature are now seen as integral components of the evolutionary process. The author explores this idea, drawing on examples from a wide range of disciplines, including biology, history, and psychology. In doing so, this book sheds new light on the nature of creativity and its role in human development.
