Originally trained as a physician, the biologist and thinker Ernst
Haeckel (1834 1919), was an evolutionist who remained sceptical of
natural selection. This book, which first appeared in German in
1899, sold 10,000 copies in its first few months and was published
in an English translation the following year. In the preface,
Haeckel applauds the technological progress of the nineteenth
century, but bemoans the lack of communication between empirical
scientists and abstract philosophers in the search for truth. The
book carefully outlines Haeckel's monistic philosophy and ethics,
which he sees as the key to human progress. Its twenty chapters
cover anthropology, psychology, cosmology and theology, ranging
from the embryology of the soul to a debate on Christianity and
science. Haeckel's philosophy attracted a sizeable following for
several decades, and it remains of interest to historians working
on the reception of Darwinism as well as on its appropriation into
Nazi ideology.
