Summary |
"The Monist, Vol. 1, 1890-1891" by Various is a collection of articles and reviews written during the late 19th century. This periodical delves into philosophical discussions and scientific theories, exploring topics such as evolution, ethics, psychology, and anthropology. The collection is notable for its focus on critical discourse surrounding contemporary scientific ideas, showcasing a range of scholarly perspectives. The opening portion of this volume includes an introduction to a piece by A. R. Wallace on physiological selection, a new concept related to the theory of evolution. Wallace's theory posits that the mating of like with like is essential for species divergence, emphasizing the role of natural selection alongside segregation. This section sets the stage for a broader discussion on the evolutionary processes and critiques surrounding these scientific theories, illustrating the ongoing debates in the scientific community of the time. Furthermore, the volume features various topics, including criminal anthropology and the immortality of infusoria, indicating the breadth of inquiry within these early explorations of philosophical and scientific intersections.
