On the Method of Zadig - Essay #1 from "Science and Hebrew Tradition"

Thomas Henry Huxley

Beschreibung

In "On the Method of Zadig," Thomas Henry Huxley presents a profound investigation into the nature of reasoning as it pertains to scientific inquiry and philosophical contemplation. This work, echoing the satirical narrative style of Voltaire's own "Zadig," deftly explores the interplay between belief and empirical evidence, set against the backdrop of the 19th-century scientific revolution. Huxley employs a blend of logical analysis and narrative-driven discourse to challenge the prevailing dogmas of his time, consequently situating his argument within the broader context of the debate between science and religion, particularly in the wake of Darwinian theory. Huxley, often referred to as 'Darwin's Bulldog' for his defense of evolutionary theory, was deeply influenced by the upheaval of scientific thought during his lifetime. His commitment to empirical science and rational thought emerged from a rich academic background in biology and paleontology, alongside a fervent desire to reconceptualize humanity's understanding of morality and knowledge in a rapidly changing world. Huxley's own struggles with religious orthodoxy and the embrace of scientific skepticism shaped the compelling arguments laid out in this text. "On the Method of Zadig" is essential reading for anyone invested in the philosophical implications of scientific inquiry. Huxley's incisive critiques and eloquent prose invite readers to reconsider their preconceived notions of truth and evidence. This enlightening examination is not only relevant for scholars of science and philosophy but also for any curious mind seeking insight into the complexities of intellectual thought in the modern era.

The Lost Trees of Willow Avenue...

Mike Tidwell

In 2023, author and activist Mike Tidwell decided to keep a record for a full year of the growing impacts of climate change on his one urban block right on the border with Washington, DC. Tidwell's story depicts the neighborhood's battle to save the trees and combat climate change: The midwife who builds a geothermal energy system, the Congressman who battles cancer and climate change, and the Chinese-American climate scientist who wants to bury billions of the world's dying trees to store their carbon and help stabilize the atmosphere. 
 
 
 
The story goes beyond ailing trees as Tidwell chronicles people on his block coping with Lyme disease, a church with solar panels and floodwater, and young people anguishing over whether to have kids—all in the same neighborhood and all against the backdrop of 2023's record global temperatures and raging wildfires and hurricanes. Then there's Tidwell himself who explores the ethical and scientific questions surrounding the idea of "geoengineering" as a way to save the world's trees by reflecting sunlight away from the planet. 
 
 
 
No book has told the story of climate change this way: hyper-local, full of surprises, full of true stories of life and death in one neighborhood. The Lost Trees of Willow Avenue is a harrowing and hopeful proxy for every street in America and every place on Earth.

Rare Earth Elements & Critical...

Dr. Nick Coman, I. A.I.

A 36‑lecture audio course on the materials that run the modern world—from ore bodies and brines to magnets, batteries, chips, and reactors. Each lecture focuses on one element or mineral, tracing its journey from deposit geology through beneficiation and refining to the devices it powers.
We make the flowsheet legible: comminution and flotation; roasting, high‑pressure acid leaching, solvent extraction, and ion exchange; separation to oxides and metals; alloying and specialty powders. See how neodymium‑iron‑boron magnets are born, why lithium hexafluorophosphate matters in electrolytes, where gallium nitride wins in power, how graphite anodes evolve with silicon, and how the uranium fuel cycle and vanadium flow batteries actually work.
Markets and politics are treated as engineering constraints. Learn to spot yield killers, read offtake agreements, and separate strategic scarcity from narrative. Test real substitutions—ferrites in small motors, sodium‑ion for short‑range storage, gallium nitride versus silicon carbide—and where performance cliffs block redesign. We map chokepoints beyond the mine: separation capacity, reagents, waste handling, water and energy intensity, and manufacturer qualification cycles. Then we follow the consequences—export controls and quotas, permitting and community consent, tariffs and friend‑shoring, standards and labeling rules.
Rigorous, narrative‑driven, and built for the intellectually ambitious, this course is an operator’s guide to the science, supply chains, and statecraft of a materials‑constrained century.
