As an intellectual giant of the 19th century, Thomas Henry Huxley
was a pioneering genius whose influence was felt throughout the
worlds of science, education, and politics of Victorian England. A
man of astonishing energy and prodigious talent, Huxley had a sharp
wit and a brilliant, inquiring mind. What he may have lacked in
patience for tedious detail, he more than made up for in insight
and intellect. Lovers of intellectual history may recall that
Huxley invented the term "agnostic" to describe his own views.
Generations of freethinkers are in his debt, given his codification
of the agnostic concept into our language and unchained us from the
limited concept of belief vs. disbelief-in and out of narrow
religious contexts.This combination autobiography and essay
collection, originally published in 1919, includes: . On the Method
of Zadig . A Lobster; or the Study of Biology . On a Piece of Chalk
. From the Hut to the Pantheon . On the Advisableness of Improving
Natural Knowledge . A Liberal Education and Where to Find It .
Science and Culture . On Science and Art in Relation to Education,
as well as a chronology of Huxley's life and work.THOMAS HENRY
HUXLEY (1825-1895), physiologist, anatomist, anthropologist,
agnostic, and educator, is also the author of Evidence on Man's
Place in Nature (1863).
