Evolution and Ethics

Meer over het boek

The book features a discourse on "Evolution and Ethics," originally delivered at the University of Oxford as part of an annual lecture series honoring the late Mr. Romanes. The author reflects on Romanes' contributions to science and expresses personal sentiments about his untimely death. The lecture, prompted by Romanes' encouragement, addresses the challenges of public speaking for the author, who feels the weight of following a distinguished orator. Themes of friendship, loss, and the pursuit of knowledge are woven throughout this reflective piece.
