Evolution

F. B. Jevons

Sinopse

In "Evolution," F. B. Jevons embarks on a profound exploration of the intersection between philosophy, science, and economics, examining how evolutionary theory influences various aspects of human experience. Written in the late 19th century during a period marked by rapid scientific advancements and intellectual ferment, Jevons employs a clear and analytical style that synthesizes complex ideas into accessible prose. The text delves into the implications of Darwinian thought, not merely as a biological principle but as a framework that encompasses social and economic evolution, positioning it within the broader discourse of progress and human development. F. B. Jevons was a noted economist and philosopher whose works significantly contributed to the fields of utility and marginalism. His background in both the sciences and the humanities informed his multidisciplinary approach, as he sought to integrate insights from various domains into his economic theories. This holistic perspective, paired with his keen observations of societal shifts, motivated him to articulate a vision of evolution that resonated with contemporary intellectual currents while anticipating future debates around the concepts of change and adaptation. "Evolution" is essential reading for anyone interested in the philosophical underpinnings of modern thought. Jevons' insights not only illuminate the prevailing ideas of his time but also challenge readers to consider the ongoing relevance of evolutionary frameworks in understanding contemporary issues. This text is a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts alike, promising to enrich one's understanding of the intricate relationship between evolution, society, and economics.

A Relational Response to Climate...

Calum Samuelson

About Relationships and Climate ChangeThe challenge of climate change is one of the defining issues the world is facing at the start of the 2020s. It has mobilised a whole new generation of social activists, some of whom are going to extreme lengths to confront the public and especially political leaders with the threat that climate change makes to their future and the planet as a whole.Arguments about the causes of climate change are usually underpinned by the assumption that more human beings living on the planet are inevitably bad for the environment and climate. However, a careful biblical reflection on these issues yields a more nuanced and hopeful view, and this report seeks to stimulate fresh conversations about how best to respond to Climate Change now and in the future.
