Sinopsis

Evolution Versus Involution is a philosophical work written by Ezra Z. Derr in 1885. The book explores the concepts of evolution and involution and their impact on human society and the natural world. Derr argues that evolution, the process of gradual development and change over time, has been overemphasized in modern society, leading to a neglect of involution, the process of inward growth and development. He contends that a balance between these two forces is necessary for human progress and the preservation of the natural world. The book also delves into topics such as morality, spirituality, and the role of science in society. Overall, Evolution Versus Involution is a thought-provoking work that challenges readers to reconsider their understanding of progress and growth.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Reseña del editor

Evolution from the stand-point ofT heism has been a long-felt want. Scientifically considered, Evolution is no longer a mere hypothesis, but has assumed its place among the recognized truths which the intellect of man has wrung from the arcana of nature. The rounded outlines of the doctrine of Evolution rise up before us in all their fullness and beauty, challenging alike our admiration and veneration. It may be likened to a majestic temple, whose broad foundations are laid upon the everlasting rocks of truth, and whose mighty dome embraces the Universe. Through mans patieut toil and industry, nature has yielded up the treasures with which this wondrously beautiful edifice has been erected. One by one the stones have been placed, until the swelling proportions of column and dome warn us that the hour of dedication is at hand. Let all who will enter in and worship. Generations have perished in the great undertaking since the corner-stone was laid, but the upward course of the structure has not been stayed, and the work of every generation has enabled its successor to build higher and truer. Many of those who have been the foremost builders in erecting this grand structure have failed to realize the significance of their own handiwork. They builded better than they knew. The chief object of the following pages is to do somewhat toward stemming the torrent of Sceptical or A gnostic belief which is sweeping away old land-marks and essaying to undermine the very foundations upon which religion and morality are based. Whilst the ultimate triumph of these principles can never be doubted, yet it becomes the duty of every one whose convictions are deep and earnest so to act as if these principles were in jeopardy, and to do all in his power to turn back the destroying tide.
