A SYSTEM OF PHILOSOPHY PROJECTED. 1857—8. Æt. 37—38. My search for a fit place of abode when I returned to town, ended satisfactorily. Malvern House, otherwise 13, Loudoun Road, St. John’s Wood, in which I settled myself, is a good house seated in the midst of a garden walled round. The occupier, who carried on a wholesale business in the city, and who, as I afterward learnt, feared to fall into a state of chronic melancholy, as his father had done before him, had hit on a prophylactic—surrounding himself with a lively circle. In addition to the family, consisting of host and hostess, three daughters and a son, ranging from seven up to about twenty, and a governess, there were as boarders an old retired government official (a commissioner of some kind I think he had been) lively notwithstanding his years—eighty and a wit; a “grass-widow,” pleasant to look upon but without an idea in her head, whose husband was in India; and her friend, a vain old lady who played the part of duenna. Beyond the fitness of the circle and the salubrity of the locality, which is on the backbone of St. John’s Wood, the place had the advantage that it was within two minutes’ walk of No. 1, Waverley Place, then occupied by Huxley. We had a standing engagement for Sunday afternoons: a walk of a few miles into the country along the Finchley Road, or up to Hampstead, being the usual routine. Many pleasant talks and useful discussions there were between us on those occasions during the succeeding year. I remember that once when, as it would seem, society and human life as at present existing had been topics of somewhat pessimistic comment, I said (not however doing justice to my thought)—“Yes, one cannot hope for much more than to make one’s mark and die.” Whereupon Huxley, with greater self-abnegation, responded—“Never mind about the mark: it is enough if one can give a push.” Reference to these walks and talks reminds me of an incident connected with one of them. Shortly after I had established myself in Loudoun Road, Buckle called. It was on a Sunday afternoon. Our conversation had not gone far when I intimated that the hour had come for the usual excursion; and, on my answering his inquiry who Huxley was (for then he was not widely known), Buckle agreed to go with me to be introduced. He went with us a short distance up the Finchley Road; but, saying that he had an engagement, presently turned back. We looked after him as he walked away; and Huxley, struck by his feeble, undecided gait, remarked—“Ah, I see the kind of man. He is top-heavy.” I have never done more than dip into The History of Civilization in England; but I suspect that the analogy suggested was not without truth.

Green , ISSN 1492-3173 (Return to C lassics i ndex ) Evolution and Personality [1] James Gibson Hume (1922) First published in Philosophical Essays Presented to John Watson (pp. 298-330). : Queen's University.[*] Posted October 2001 Spencer in his Data of Ethics treated his subject from several successive standpoints entitled, The Physical, The Biological, The Psychological, the Sociological. He also attempted to co-ordinate all these various stages into what he termed a Synthetic Philosophy. This would give a fifth standpoint, the Philosophical. These five terms might be used to describe several different types of evolutionary theory. Let us note how these arose, that is, let us trace the evolution of evolutionary theory. Physical Evolution. Early Greek speculation was dominated by this standpoint which found its culmination in the Atomists. Among these Empedocles is noteworthy. He is quoted in the article 'Evolution' in the Encyclopaedia Britannica by J. Sully and T. H. Huxley. After a general Cosmology dealing with the formation of the Cosmos from the four original elements, fire, air, earth, water, by love and discord (attraction and repulsion) he proceeds to treat of the first origin of plants and of animals including man. As the original elements entered into various combinations there arose curious aggregates, heads without [p. 299] necks, arms without shoulders. These got strangely combined. Men's heads on oxen's shoulders, heads of .oxen on men's bodies, etc. Most of these combinations could not survive and so disappeared.

    Hist. Phil. Life Sci., 25 (2003), 83-111 ---83 Evolutionary Ethics from Darwin to Moore Fritz Allhoff Department of Philosophy, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA 93106, USA ABSTRACT - Evolutionary ethics has a long history, dating all the way back to Charles Darwin.1 Almost immediately after the publication of the Origin, an immense interest arose in the moral implications of Darwinism and whether the truth of Darwinism would undermine traditional ethics. Though the biological thesis was certainly exciting, nobody suspected that the impact of the Origin would be confined to the scientific arena. As one historian wrote, ‘whether or not ancient populations of armadillos were transformed into the species that currently inhabit the new world was certainly a topic about which zoologists could disagree. But it was in discussing the broader implications of the theory…that tempers flared and statements were made which could transform what otherwise would have been a quiet scholarly meeting into a social scandal’ (Farber 1994, 22). Some resistance to the biological thesis of Darwinism sprung from the thought that it was incompatible with traditional morality and, since one of them had to go, many thought that Darwinism should be rejected. However, some people did realize that a secular ethics was possible so, even if Darwinism did undermine traditional religious beliefs, it need not have any effects on moral thought.2 Before I begin my discussion of evolutionary ethics from Darwin to Moore, I would like to make some more general remarks about its development.3 There are three key events during this history of evolutionary ethics.

  • There Is No Alternative: a Discursive Analysis of Past and Present
    There Is No Alternative: A Discursive Analysis of Past and Present By Senne Vandevelde Introduction There is no alternative, or in short: TINA. One would be hard pressed to find a phrase that is so ideologically charged and at the same time so widely used in the world of politics. To disprove it seems straightforward in all circumstances. The starting point of this dissertation is therefore unequivocal: there is always an alternative. Even if a given socio-economic framework does not permit alternatives, it is always possible to alter the framework itself. As such, TINA or any other argument in the same vein is considered to be absurd. Yet both the use of such arguments as well as their appeal have by no means diminished since they were popularised by Margaret Thatcher in the 1980s. On the contrary, with the advent of the sovereign debt crisis in Europe and the austerity policies that ensued, TINA has only grown in importance. However, several people who used TINA during this time have no political affiliation with Thatcher whatsoever. To illustrate, this dissertation studies TINA as it was inserted into the social democratic prime ministerial discourse in Greece and Spain (which were led by George Papandreou and José Luis Rodriguez Zapatero respectively). To find out what this insertion might mean for the Eurozone and Europe today, this dissertation first goes back in time to uncover the discursive history of TINA. While TINA as an expression was coined originally by Herbert Spencer in the middle of the nineteenth century and eventually became part of regular political discourse with Thatcher, the logic of no alternative has been a recurrent theme for generations of advocates of economic liberalism, a discourse which adheres to the free market, free trade and a minimal state.

  • Great Country Walks: Take the North Wales Path to Aber Falls, Gwynedd
    Aber Falls Great country walks: take the North Wales Path to Aber Falls, Gwynedd Explore the famed North Wales Path, from lowlands to summit, and marvel at the majestic Aber Falls. The magnificent Aber Falls near the village of Abergwyngregyn in Gwynedd Difficulty Challenging Distance 6.7 miles/11 km Typical duration 4 hours 10 minutes Start and finish Abergwyngregyn bus stop and car park Map OS Explorer OL17 Step-by-step details and maps ramblers.org.uk/moel In a nutshell From the quiet village of Abergwyngregyn on the north Wales coast, this walk takes you along part of the long- distance North Wales Path, which runs from Bangor to Prestatyn, through fields to Moel Wnion, a hill sitting within the northern Carneddau range. You’ll climb to the summit to enjoy sweeping views before heading down the other side, walking past streams and gulleys. The pinnacle of the walk is Aber Falls, one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Wales. After admiring the dramatic setting, you’ll return to Abergwyngregyn through a pretty national nature reserve. Why it’s special The highlight may be Aber Falls, but there’s much more to enjoy too, including a magnificent viewpoint on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park and plenty of wildlife spotting. Following the grassy track of the North Wales Path you’ll pass a cluster of old tree stumps where a plantation once stood (it may still be shown on your map). From here you begin the climb to the summit of Moel Wnion, which, at 1,900 ft requires a bit of leg-work, but is worth it for the views once you reach the top.
