Critiques and Addresses is a collection of essays and speeches by Thomas Henry Huxley, a prominent 19th century British biologist, philosopher, and educator. The book is divided into two parts: the first part consists of critiques of various scientific and philosophical ideas of his time, including Darwin’s theory of evolution, the nature of science, and the role of religion in society. The second part contains addresses given by Huxley on topics such as education, ethics, and the importance of science in modern society. Throughout the book, Huxley emphasizes the importance of rational inquiry and critical thinking, and argues for the value of science and education in promoting human progress and well-being. Written in Huxley’s clear and engaging style, Critiques and Addresses remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of science and ideas.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
