Synopsis

In "Aphorisms and Reflections from the Works of T. H. Huxley," the reader is invited to explore the profound insights and observations of one of the 19th century's most influential scientists and philosophers. Huxley's literary style is characterized by clarity and precision, often interlaced with wit, which makes complex scientific and philosophical ideas accessible to a broader audience. This collection encapsulates Huxley's reflections on the convergence of science and ethics, knowledge and ignorance, all within the context of the burgeoning debates surrounding Darwinism, evolution, and modernity. The aphorisms serve not only as contemplative musings but also as a critique of the societal and intellectual landscapes of his time, highlighting Huxley's role as a key figure in the promotion of scientific thought against a backdrop of traditional beliefs. Thomas Henry Huxley, often referred to as "Darwin's Bulldog" for his defense of evolutionary theory, was a man of fierce intellect and commitment to education. His background in medicine and natural history equipped him with a unique perspective on the implications of scientific inquiry. Huxley was deeply engaged with the societal implications of science, often challenging the status quo and pushing for a more rational understanding of human existence. His writings reflect a desire to reconcile rational thought with ethical living, a theme that is richly explored in this collection. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the intersection of science, philosophy, and ethics. Huxley's aphorisms provoke thought and inspire critical reflection, encouraging readers to question preconceived notions and embrace a more enlightened understanding of the world around them. For scholars, students, and anyone intrigued by the evolution of modern thought, Huxley's reflections offer timeless wisdom and guidance.

    Witchcraft holds a continued fascination for readers around the world, and the Scottish witch hunts have recently received renewed media attention, especially with the BBC 2 show Lucy Worsley Investigates, bringing attention to Edinburgh's witches.
    
    Expert Mary Craig explores the unusual story of Agnes Finnie, a middle class shopkeeper who lived in the tenements of Edinburgh. After arrest, most witches were tried within a matter of days but not Agnes. Her unusual case took months with weeks of deliberation of the jury. Mary explains why and gives her expert insight into the political and religious tensions that led to her burning.
    
    The book will interest a variety of readers, academics and non-academics alike – those interested in witchcraft, British and Scottish history, religious studies and women's studies.
    Mary Craig works as a historian with museums, archives and schools and hosts regular, well-attended events on the subject of witchcraft in the Scottish Borders. We expect strong media coverage. The Witches of Scotland campaign has recently gained traction and the attention of first minister Nicola Sturgeon, calling for a pardon and apology to those accused during the witch hunts.

    We as a society are self-censoring at record rates. Say the wrong thing at the wrong moment to the wrong person and the consequences can be dire. Think that everyone should be treated equally regardless of race? You're a racist who needs to be kicked out of the online forum that you started. Believe there are biological differences between men and women? You're a sexist who should be fired with cause. Argue that people should be able to speak freely within the bounds of the law? You're a fascist who should be removed from your position of authority. When the truth is no defense and nuance is seen as an attack, self-censorship is a rational choice. Yet, our silence comes with a price. When we are too fearful to speak openly and honestly, we deprive ourselves of the ability to build genuine relationships, we yield all cultural and political power to those with opposing views, and we lose our ability to challenge ideas or change minds, even our own. 
      
    In No Apologies, Katherine Brodsky argues that it's time for principled individuals to hit the unmute button and resist the authoritarians among us who name, shame, and punish. Recognizing that speaking authentically is easier said than done, she spent two years researching and interviewing those who have been subjected to public harassment and abuse for daring to transgress the new orthodoxy or criticize a new taboo. While she found that some of these individuals navigated the outrage mob better than others, and some suffered worse personal and professional effects than others, all of the individuals with whom she spoke remain unapologetic over their choice to express themselves authentically. In sharing their stories, which span the arts, education, journalism, and science, Brodsky uncovers lessons for all of us in the silenced majority to push back against the dangerous illiberalism of the vocal minority that tolerates no dissent— and to find and free our own voices.
