Excerpt from Life and HabitSince Samuel Butler published "Life and Habit" thirty-three years have elapsed -years fruitful in change and discovery, during which many of the mighty have been put down from their seat and many of the humble have been exalted. I do not know that Butler can truthfully be called humble, indeed, I think he had very few misgivings as to his ultimate triumph, but he has certainly been exalted with a rapidity that he himself can scarcely have foreseen. During his lifetime he was a literary pariah, the victim of an organized conspiracy of silence. He is now, I think it may be said without exaggeration, universally accepted as one of the most remarkable English writers of the latter part of the nineteenth century. I will not weary my readers by quoting the numerous tributes paid by distinguished contemporary writers to Butler's originality and force of mind, but I cannot refrain from illustrating the changed attitude of the scientific world to Butler and his theories by a reference to "Darwin and Modern Science," the collection of essays published in 1909 by the University of Cambridge, in commemoration of the Darwin centenary. In that work Professor Bateson, while referring repeatedly to Butler's biological works, speaks of him as "the most brilliant and by far the most interesting of Darwin's opponents, whose works are at length emerging from oblivion."About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

About the Author Samuel Butler (1835 - 1902) is best known for his utopian satire Erewhon, his posthumous novel The Way of All Flesh, and his translations of Homer. His family background made a career in the Church inevitable, but, while serving a low - income parish in London, he began to question his faith. He lived in New Zealand for five years, and later in life spent time in Italy.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Ahead of its time By Tom M This is SUCH an enlightening and eye opening treatment of not only evolution but also a prescient account of the debate regarding quantum physics and consciousness - 40 years before his time. An absolute must read for anyone interested in the history of science and wishing to better understand (with an open mind) alternatives to conventional wisdom regarding the nature of life and the universe.
