The Lowell Lectures On The Ascent Of Man is a book written by Henry Drummond, a Scottish evangelist, biologist, and writer. The book is a collection of lectures that Drummond delivered in 1893 at the Lowell Institute in Boston, Massachusetts. In this book, Drummond explores the concept of evolution and the relationship between science and religion. He argues that the theory of evolution is not incompatible with the Christian faith and that both science and religion have a role to play in understanding the nature of humanity.Drummond’s lectures cover a wide range of topics, including the history of science, the development of human consciousness, and the evolution of morality. He also discusses the relationship between humans and other animals, the role of love in human relationships, and the meaning of life.The Lowell Lectures On The Ascent Of Man is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers a unique perspective on the relationship between science and religion. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of ideas, the philosophy of science, or the nature of humanity.One seldom-raised yet not merely curious question of Evolution is, why the process should be an evolution at all? If Evolution is simply a method of Creation, why was this very extraordinary method chosen? Creation tout d’un coup might have produced the same result; an instantaneous act or an age-long process would both have given us the world as it is? The answer of modern natural theology has been that the evolutionary method is the infinitely nobler scheme. A spectacular act, it is said, savours of the magician. As a mere exhibition of power it appeals to the lower nature; but a process of growth suggests to the reason the work of an intelligent Mind. No doubt this intellectual gain is real.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
