Finn, your Starvard guide

안녕하세요, 저는 Finn입니다. 이 책을 이해할 수 있도록 도와드릴게요.

10살 아이에게 설명하듯 말하면 이렇습니다:

Charles Darwin은 20년이 넘게 증거를 모은 뒤, 모든 살아 있는 것이 서로 이어져 있고 생물이 살아남는 데 도움이 되는 변화를 자연이 간직하면서 천천히 변해 간다는 주장을 발표했어요. 인간이 자기 자신을 보는 방식을 이보다 더 바꾼 책은 없어요. 조심스럽고 인내심 있는 과학으로, 따개비와 비둘기를 하나씩 보며 혁명이 일어나는 걸 지켜볼 수 있어요.

Epigraphs

“But with regard to the material world, we can at least go so far as this—we can perceive that events are brought about not by insulated interpositions of Divine power, exerted in each particular case, but by the establishment of general laws.”

Whewell: Bridgewater Treatise

“The only distinct meaning of the word ‘natural’ is stated, fixed or settled; since what is natural as much requires and presupposes an intelligent agent to render it so, i.e., to effect it continually or at stated times, as what is supernatural or miraculous does to effect it for once.”

Butler: Analogy of Revealed Religion

“To conclude, therefore, let no man out of a weak conceit of sobriety, or an ill-applied moderation, think or maintain, that a man can search too far or be too well studied in the book of God’s word, or in the book of God’s works; divinity or philosophy; but rather let men endeavour an endless progress or proficience in both.”

Bacon: Advancement of Learning
