Description

Luck, or Cunning, as the Main Means of Organic Modification by Samuel Butler is a thought-provoking essay that challenges the prevailing theories of evolution in the late 19th century. Butler, a keen observer of nature and society, argues that chance (or luck) plays a crucial role in the process of organic modification, countering the then-dominant Darwinian perspective that emphasized natural selection and survival of the fittest.In this work, Butler employs wit and sharp critique to explore the intricate interplay between chance events and intelligent design in the evolution of species. He posits that while natural laws govern evolution, random occurrences can significantly influence the trajectory of life. This book not only showcases Butler's philosophical insights but also captures the spirit of scientific inquiry prevalent in his time. Through its engaging narrative, Luck, or Cunning remains a valuable read for those interested in the intersections of evolution, philosophy, and biology.
