The Meaning And The Method Of Life: A Search For Religion In Biology (1893)

The Meaning And The Method Of Life: A Search For Religion In Biology (1893) is a philosophical and scientific exploration of the relationship between religion and biology. Written by George Milbry Gould, a prominent American physician and writer, the book delves into the fundamental questions of human existence and seeks to reconcile the seemingly opposing viewpoints of religion and science. Gould argues that religion and biology are not mutually exclusive, but rather complement each other in providing a comprehensive understanding of the world and our place in it. He explores the origins of life, the nature of consciousness, and the meaning of death, drawing on both scientific research and religious teachings to develop his ideas. The book is divided into three parts. The first part examines the scientific basis of life, including the principles of evolution and the role of natural selection in shaping the development of species. The second part delves into the philosophical implications of these scientific discoveries, exploring the nature of consciousness and the human soul. The final part of the book explores the practical applications of these ideas, including their relevance to ethical and moral questions.Overall, The Meaning And The Method Of Life is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the relationship between religion and science. Gould's writing is clear and accessible, making this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of philosophy, biology, and spirituality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
