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

Thomas Henry Huxley

Casa editrice: DigiCat

Sinossi

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 Book of Flaco - The World’s...

David Gessner

The story of Flaco, the Eurasian eagle-owl who escaped from Central Park Zoo and captured the hearts and imaginations of millions of followers around the world. 
 
 
 
Nature writer David Gessner chronicles the year-long odyssey of Flaco and the human drama that followed the owl who captured the imaginations of New Yorkers and people around the world. Though he'd spent his life in a cage, Flaco learned to survive in New York City by eating rats, squirrels, and birds. He was an immigrant coming from elsewhere to make it in the big city. Central Park, the island of green in an urban sea, was his new home territory. 
 
 
 
Flaco's urban adventure brought controversy, pitting those who felt he should be returned to the safety of the zoo against those who created the "Free Flaco" movement. The birding world was fractured over the ethics of the online sharing of his location that brought scores of enthusiasts to view him each day. And his end—with a grim necropsy revealing Flaco had suffered a viral infection from eating pigeons and had multiple rodenticides in his system—serves as a Rachel Carson-esque warning about the harm we've done to our urban environments, inspiring the passage of long-sought legislation protecting urban birds and regulations meant to reduce the use of rodenticides in New York City.

And No Birds Sang

Farley Mowat

Turned away from the Royal Canadian Air Force for his apparent youth and frailty, Farley Mowat joined the infantry in 1940. The young second lieutenant soon earned the trust of the soldiers under his command, and was known to bend army rules to secure a stout drink, or find warm—if non-regulation—clothing. But when Mowat and his regiment engaged with elite German forces in the mountains of Sicily, the optimism of their early days as soldiers was replaced by despair. With a naturalist's eyes and ears, Mowat takes in the full dark depths of war—and his moving account of military service, and the friends he left behind, is also a plea for peace. It is one of the most searing and unforgettable World War II memoirs from any Canadian.
