Produktbeschreibung
In "A Defence of Modern Spiritualism," Alfred Russel Wallace, the outstanding biologist and co-founder of the idea of evolution, departs from his scientific foundations to address the increasing spiritualist motion of the 19th century. Wallace, mentioned for his highbrow interest and open-mindedness, makes a sturdy case in desire of spiritualism, a religion machine primarily based on connection with spirits. Wallace's book makes use of his private stories, studies, and testimonials to argue for the truth of spiritualist practices. Wallace, who's normally linked with clinical rigor, uses his analytical thoughts to investigate and guard spiritual reviews, difficult skeptics and striving to reconcile spiritualist ideas with contemporary scientific and theological perspectives. "A Defence of Modern Spiritualism" exemplifies Wallace's diversity as a thinker, demonstrating his willingness to have a look at unusual areas of information. While it may appear to be a departure from Wallace's evolutionary pursuits, the book shows his willpower to intellectual studies and his desire to recognize the various elements of the human revel in.

Autorenporträt
Alfred Russel Wallace, OM FRS, was an English naturalist, explorer, geographer, anthropologist, biologist, and illustrator. He independently developed the theory of evolution by natural selection; his 1858 work on the subject was published that year, along with excerpts from Charles Darwin's earlier papers on the subject. It inspired Darwin to lay aside the "big species book" he was working on and rapidly write an abstract of it, which was published in 1859 as On the Origin of Species. He was regarded as the 19th century's foremost authority on the geographical distribution of animal species, and he is frequently referred to as the "father of biogeography," or more specifically, zoogeography. Alfred Russel Wallace was born on January 8, 1823 in Llanbadoc, Monmouthshire. Mary Anne Wallace and Thomas Vere Wallace had nine children, and he was the eighth. His mother was English, and his father was of Scottish descent. His family claimed to be related to William Wallace, a Scottish army commander during the 13th-century Wars of Scottish Independence.
