The Order of Nature an Essay (Classic Reprint) by Lawrence J. Henderson Pdf

Excerpt from The Order of Nature an Essay Many of the characteristics of inorganic nature, like the stability of the solar system and the en during movements oi the waters of the earth, are the very condition of existence for life as We know it and the source of diversity in organic evolution. This is perhaps one of the oldest interpretations of nature. But since Darwin's time the fitness of the environment has only occasionally aroused passing comment without ever entering the main current of scientific thought. And yet, whatever may be the final judgment of natural science upon either organic or inorganic harmonies, biological fitness is manifestly a mutual relationship. For, however present order may have developed out of past con fusion, the organism and the environment each fits and is fitted by the other.

The Order of Nature; an Essay by Lawrence Joseph Henderson Pdf

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1917 edition. Excerpt: ... THE THREE ELEMENTS Components Or all the chemical elements, hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen possess the greatest number of compounds and enter into the greatest variety of reactions. The known compounds of carbon, which very often contain all three elements, are numbered by ten thousands, while the possible carbon compounds are almost innumerable. The compounds of inorganic chemistry in a very large number of cases also contain oxygen or hydrogen. Thus these elements afford by far the greatest number of components for the constitution of systems. This unique combining power of the three elements with other elements, but especially among themselves, depends of course upon their very nature, upon those characteristics which are peculiar to them and mark them off from all Mother elements. These properties, moreover, produce characteristics, in the compounds which distinguish these from the compounds of other elements. Thus the compounds of oxygen are commonly very reactive, the compounds of carbon with hydrogen, taking account of the size of the molecule, very stable. But, in a somewhat less conspicuous manner, numerous other elements present similar phenomena, and the most striking chemical property of the three elements is therefore the variety of their combinations. The necessary condition for the number and diversity of carbon compounds is the ability of the single atom of carbon to combine with several other atoms, actually with four, and thus, according to the atomic theory, to make possible the formation of chains, forked chains, and rings of atoms in the molecule. But this fact of the quadrivalence of carbon is in itself by no means unique, nor is it evident that a combining power of four is necessarily better than five. What is...

Nature (Classic Reprint) by Ralph Waldo Emerson Pdf

Excerpt from Nature Our age is retrospective. It builds the sepulchres of the fathers. It writes biographies, histories, and criticism. The foregoing generations beheld God and nature face to face; we, through their eyes. Why should not we also enjoy an original relation to the universe? Why should not we have a poetry and philosophy of insight and not of tradition, and a religion by revelation to us, and not the history of theirs? Embosomed for a season in nature, whose floods of life stream around and through us, and invite us by the powers they supply, to action proportioned to nature, why should we grope among the dry bones of the past, or put the living generation into masquerade out of its faded wardrobe? The sun shines to-day also. There is more wool and flax in the fields. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Nature of Order: The phenomenon of life by Christopher Alexander Pdf

In Book Oneof this four-volume work, Alexander describes a scientific view of the world in which all space-matter has perceptible degrees of life, and establishes this understanding of living structures as an intellectual basis for a new architecture. He identifies fifteen geometric properties which tend to accompany the presence of life in nature, and also in the buildings and cities we make. These properties are seen over and over in nature and in the cities and streets of the past, but they have almost disappeared in the impersonal developments and buildings of the last hundred years. This book shows that living structures depend on features which make a close connection with the human self, and that only living structure has the capacity to support human well-being.

Man and His Dwelling Place by James Hinton,Professor Emeritus Department of History James Hinton Pdf

Excerpt from Man and His Dwelling Place: An Essay Towards the Interpretation of Nature The evidence for this belief is not here to be discussed; but it was necessary for me to state the change in my convictions, because I think that the contrary feeling (though it is nowhere expressed as an opinion) so pervaded the volume that it was hardly possible to put aside all trace of it.

Beyond Romantic Ecocriticism by A. Nichols Pdf

Nichols chronicles the Enlightenment view of 'Nature' as static and separate from humans as it moved towards the Romantic 'nature' characterized by dynamic links among all living things. Engaging Romantic and Victorian thinkers, as well as contemporary scholarship, he draws new conclusions about 21st-century ideas of nature.

A History and Critique of Methodological Naturalism by Joseph B. Onyango Okello Pdf

Methodological naturalism is the thesis that only natural features can be factored into any legitimate explanation. Moreover, the thesis contends, any attempt to explain natural phenomena by appealing to supernatural features is unscientific and, therefore, illegitimate. This book argues that nothing inherently problematic afflicts possible appeals to supernatural agency in the attempt to explain select phenomena in nature. Reputable philosophers of the ancient and medieval periods, as well as prominent scientists of the early modern era, invoked supernatural agency in their attempts to understand nature. For them, miraculous interventions in nature by a supernatural agent were not unreasonable. However, the super-naturalistic worldview has been replaced by methodological naturalism. The assumptions of two pivotal figures--David Hume and Charles Darwin--brought about this change. This book shows that this change was motivated by unscientific means. Hence, the change itself remains inconsistent with the assumptions of methodological naturalism.

Perfecting the Earth by C. W. Wooldridge Pdf

Excerpt from Perfecting the Earth: A Piece of Possible History This is a Utopian book, but its Utopia is not, as Utopias generally are said to be, in the clouds; on the contrary it is worked out with much detail in accordance with a natural order of sequence from existing conditions, with every point definite in time and place, true in all fundamental physical features to the best maps, true also to the law of cause and effect and duly regarding the limitations of nature. Some to whom this book, in manuscript, has been shown, Object that it is too scientific; perhaps it is the most scientific of Utopian books. That Utopias, fro-m Bellamy back to Plato, are in cloudland. Unscientific, out of touch with reality and unattainable, is the charge which these critics make, while the logical steps required to make Utopia scientific and plant it on the rocks are the features which, when presented, they most object to. This book, however, is written in the belief that these steps are needed. The aim has been to limit the narra tive to the possible, and, following the steps related, to the practicable, while each consequence stated must necessarily follow from the measures preceding. -if these details had been omitted, then my Utopia, like the other Utopias, would have been in the clouds and the purpose of the book could not have been attained. If the earth is ever to be perfected, such meas ures as are here detailed must be taken, and as in the order of nature first things must be done first, so in the plan of this book first things are first related. In necessary sequence from these measures, from a condition natural and probable as things are going, the purpose is to evolve the conduct of a world as it is conceived that the world ought to be conducted, and to plant in the minds of readers a better ideal than that which usually animates mankind. In building an edifice the foundation must first be laid, but, while the steps in that part of the structure are not without a certain interest in themselves, the interest felt there is mainly reflected from the superstructure and the purposes which it is to serve. In this book the first twelve chapters may be re garded' as the laying of a foundation. The building of the superstructure is comprised in the twelve chapters following, while nine chapters at the conclusion of the book portray the life and conditions prevailing in the perfected earth after the work is practically completed.

Classical Christianity and the Political Order by Ernest L. Fortin Pdf

In Volume Two of Ernest Fortin: Collected Essays, Fortin deals with the relationship between religion and civil society in a Christian context: that of an essentially nonpolitical but by no means entirely otherwordly religion, many of whose teachings were thought to be fundamentally at odds with the duties of citizenship. Sections focus upon Augustine and Aquinas, on Christianity and politics; natural law, natural rights, and social justice; and Leo Strauss and the revival of classical political philosophy. Fortin's treatment of these and related themes betrays a keen awareness of one of the significant intellectual events of our time: the recovery of political philosophy as a legitimate academic discipline.
