Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Emergent Evolution: The Gifford Lectures' is a foundational philosophical treatise that seeks to bridge the gap between biological science and metaphysical inquiry. In this influential work, C. Lloyd Morgan articulates his theory of emergent evolution-the idea that the universe progresses through a hierarchy of levels, where new and unpredictable properties arise at each stage of complexity. These emergent qualities, such as life and consciousness, are viewed as more than just the sum of their physical and chemical components.Morgan systematically explores the relationships between matter, life, and the human mind, offering a non-reductive naturalism that avoids the pitfalls of both simple mechanism and mystical vitalism. By examining the structure of reality through this evolutionary lens, the work provides a cohesive framework for understanding how mind and spirit fit into the natural world. This volume remains a significant text for those interested in the history of evolutionary thought, the philosophy of science, and the origins of systems theory. 'Emergent Evolution: The Gifford Lectures' offers a compelling and sophisticated look at the creative novelty inherent in the natural order, emphasizing the interconnectedness of all levels of existence.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Emergent Evolution' is a seminal exploration into the philosophy of science and biology, detailing C. Lloyd Morgan's influential Gifford Lectures. The work centers on the concept of emergence-the theory that as complex systems evolve, new and unpredictable properties arise that cannot be explained solely by the characteristics of their simpler parts. Morgan meticulously outlines how the world progresses through various levels of organization, from the physical and chemical to the biological and the psychological.Throughout this profound inquiry, Morgan seeks to reconcile a naturalistic view of the universe with the existence of higher mental functions and the creative novelty of life. He examines the hierarchical nature of reality, the relationship between space-time and the concept of deity, and the philosophical implications of a world in a constant state of becoming. By challenging reductive materialism, Morgan provides a framework for understanding the complexity of existence without abandoning scientific principles.This work remains a cornerstone of early 20th-century thought, offering vital insights into the history of evolutionary theory and the foundations of modern systems thinking.
