Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Idea of Development Whosoever departs from scholastic principles undermines reason and imperils faith. These principles will remain for ever unmoved, because they are founded in Nature; they constitute the imperishable basis of that relation which exists between the human intelligence and the things that are. Nevertheless, they are principles, not ultimate conclusions. Wherefore Leo XIII., in his encyclical "Æterni Patris," while he warns us that it is both futile and dangerous to attempt "patrimonio antiquæs apientiæ posthabito, nova moliri," yet encourages us "vetera novis augere et perficere." When, then, any more or less new conception is presented to us, it is the part of the judicious philosopher not to reject it out of hand, but to examine it in the light of scholastic principles, and to see how far it is compatible and how far incompatible with them. It is in the light of these principles that I have here endeavoured to treat of the theory of Evolution. By Evolution I understand a process governed by three laws - Variation, Selection, and Heredity. Yet the whole is hypothetical, and as such I treat it.
