Excerpt from Nature of Science, and Other Essays This book is intended as a collection of five essays in the general area of logic and mathematics as applied to science, composed, at various times, during the course of the past decade. The develop ment of the methods and results of natural science is possibly the most significant intellectual contribution of modern western civili zation to the galaxy of man's supreme achievements. I use the term natural science in its widest sense, including all theoretical knowl edge which cannot by definition be included under the category of the divine sciences, and which comprehends knowledge both dis covered by the application of special scientific procedures and based on common sense in everyday life. In the same way the expression language of science is meant here to refer to the language which contains all statements, i.e., theoretical sentences, in contradistinction to emotional expressions, commands, etc., used for scientific purposes in everyday life. What is usually called science I take to be a more systematic continuation of those activities which we carry out in everyday life in order to learn more about the world around us. As in my earlier book Truth and Meaning, I have not distin guished between any special logic of the empirical sciences and logic in general, since I doubt if any such differentiation really exists. I have taken logic as the name of the discipline which ana lyzes the meaning of the concepts common to all the sciences, and establishes the general laws governing the concepts. But I do recog nize two chief parts of the analysis of linguistic expressions in science. Scientific investigation may be restricted to the forms of_ the linguistic expressions involved and their relation to objects out side of language. An investigation of this type comes within the field of logical syntax, is restricted to formal analysis and abstracts from designation. In the second case, an investigation may not be restricted to formal analysis, but may take designation into con sideration. An investigation of this type comes within the field of semantics, and includes the semantical analysis of the designationof expressions. It will be obvious that this second part of scientific analysis is considerably broader than the first. A further distinction should be made between formal science and empirical science. Formal science consists of analytic statements established by logic and mathematics; empirical science consists of synthetic statements established in the different fields of factual knowledge.

Excerpt from The Probable Infinity of Nature and Life: Three Essays It is almost as much on account of the super-history furnished by these essays as on account of what is said in them that I am now publishing them. They were not written with any definite purpose Of publication. The ones on spontaneous generation and multiple causes were prepared as addresses for scientific societies. That on the infinity Of nature was written mainly to enable me to see where my biological development was tending as touching other domains Of knowledge. TO state more specifically why I now publish the essays essentially as they were written, I find on approaching the completion Of the Unity of the Orgamm, that I need the essays in print, partly as record and partly as super-record. What I am writing now in the larger work, I want to attach directly to what I wrote earlier about the origin of life and to do so without rewrit ing the Old essay and incorporating it as a section in the later book.

Excerpt from Tropical Nature and Other Essays The remaining chapters have all a more or less direct connection with the leading subject. The family of humming-birds is taken as an illustration of the luxuriant development of allied forms in the tropics, and as showing the special mode in which natural selection has acted to bring about considerable changes in a limited period. The discussion on the nature and origin of the colours of animals and plants, is intended to show how far and in what way these are dependent on the climate and physical conditions of the tropics. The chapter entitled By-paths in the Domain of Biology contains an account of certain curious relations of colour to locality, which are almost exclusively manifested within the tropical zones; while the essay on Distribution of Animals and Geographical Changes, elucidates the relations of the several continents in past time, and the probable origin of many of the groups new characteristic of tropical or of temperate regions.

Excerpt from Man's Place in Nature, and Other Anthropological Essays I AM very well aware that the old are prone to regard their early performances with much more interest than their co'n temporaries of a younger generation are likely to take in them; moreover, I freely admit that my younger contemporaries might employ their time better than in perusing the three essays, writ ten thirty-two years ago, which occupy the first place in this volume. This confession is the more needful, inasmuch as all the premises of the argument set forth in Man's Place in Nature and most of the conclusions deduced from them, are now to be met with among other well-established and, indeed, elementary truths, in the text-books. Paradoxical as the statement may seem, however, it is just because every well-informed student of biology ought to be tempted to throw these essays, and especially the second, On the Relations of Man to the Lower Animals, aside, as a fair mathematician might dispense with the reperusal of Cocker's arithmetic, that I think it worth while to reprint them; and entertain the hope that the story of their origin and early fate may not be devoid of a certain antiquarian interest, even if it possess no other.

Excerpt from The Order of Nature an Essay Many of the characteristics of inorganic nature, like the stability of the solar system and the en during movements oi the waters of the earth, are the very condition of existence for life as We know it and the source of diversity in organic evolution. This is perhaps one of the oldest interpretations of nature. But since Darwin's time the fitness of the environment has only occasionally aroused passing comment without ever entering the main current of scientific thought. And yet, whatever may be the final judgment of natural science upon either organic or inorganic harmonies, biological fitness is manifestly a mutual relationship. For, however present order may have developed out of past con fusion, the organism and the environment each fits and is fitted by the other.
