The Way of All Flesh
ISBN: 9781512288025 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Samuel Butleter began to write "The Way of All Flesh" about the year 1872, and was engaged upon it intermittently until 1884. It is therefore, to a great extent, contemporaneous with "Life and Habit," and may be taken as a practical illustration of the theory of heredity embodied in that book. He did not work at it after 1884, but for various reasons he postponed its publication. He was occupied in other ways, and he professed himself dissatisfied with it as a whole, and always intended to rewrite or at any rate to revise it. His death in 1902 prevented him from doing this, and on his...

A First Year in Canterbury Settlement
ISBN: 9781108039383 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 182 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Samuel Butler (1835 1902) became famous with his satirical Utopian novel Erewhon, based on his experiences as a sheep farmer in New Zealand and published, initially anonymously, in 1872. This earlier book, published in London in 1863 while he was still abroad, is a compilation of his letters home. Having obtained a degree in Classics from Cambridge, Butler had left England in 1859 with generous funding from his father, who hoped that making his fortune in the colonies would cure his son's ambition to become an artist. Butler was highly successful in his farming enterprise, and his letters...

Unconscious Memory
ISBN: 9781540377098 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 162 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book essentially restated the argument of Life and Habit, stating that human variation, or 'progress', is due to 'strokes of cunning - to a sense of need, and to study of the past and present which have given shrewd people a key with which to unlock the chambers of the future'. Butler believed that heredity was a mode of memory, and instinct was inherited memory. A world shaped by natural selection appeared to Butler to be 'a world of chance and blindness', which he simply could not accept, and he seized on what he saw as the wilful aspect of the Lamarckian mechanism of evolution to...

Excerpt: ...church is even more floridly ambitious in its abundance of carving and gilding than the many other ambitious altar-pieces with which the Canton Valais abounds. The Apostles are receiving the Holy Ghost on the first storey of the composition, and they certainly are receiving it with an overjoyed alacrity and hilarious ecstasy of allegria spirituale which it would not be easy to surpass. Above the village, reaching almost to the limits beyond which there is no cultivation, there stands a series of chapels like those I have been describing at Saas-F

Unconscious Memory
ISBN: 9788027285228 / Angielski / Miękka / 116 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The author of this book, the British writer and thinker Samuel Butler, was a proponent of the theory of evolution but rejected the Darwinian idea of the selection of species. As a result of his attempts to unite the theory of evolution with his philosophy of humanity, Butler wrote a series of works from the position of a philosopher who looked for biological foundations for his work. He tried to find a bridge to a philosophy of life that sought a scientific basis for religion and endowed a naturalistically conceived universe with a soul. In this book, we have a chance to try Butler's...
