Description:This book and want to come for intimately connected with the author's long and close association with that remarkable man, E.W. Scripps. Realist, student, philosopher, successful journalist and business man, and above all humanist, Scripps was quick to see important implications and the biological idea of "the organism as a whole" for humankind, once that idea I had gained to secure a foothold in his mind. As a consequence, even before he had read any comprehensive biological exposition of the idea, he begin to wonder what a thorough-going study of human beings from this standpoint would bring to light; for the enigma of man with his infinite capacity for noble thoughts and deeds and his equal capacity for ignoble thoughts and deeds harassed Scripps beyond measure. By the time the author's mind and hands had worked themselves free from enthrallment with his The Unity of the Organism, his demand to know what this "damned human animal is, anyway," became so insistent that the author could hardly escape taking them seriously, even though they were not usually leveled at him personally.These demands, superimposed upon rather strong humanistic and philosophic tendencies of the author's own, must be put down as the "efficient environmental factor" in the production of this book and a companion soon to follow.The other book will have as title The Natural Philosophy of Our Conduct." Despite the circumstances that the product of the author's task is in two packages, the task itself was a unit and not twofold. This follows from the unitary point of view implied by the organismal conception.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
