Life, Mind and Spirit: being the Second Course of the Gifford Lectures delivered in the University of St Andrews in the year 1923 under the general title of “Emergent Evolution”

Abstract

THIS is the second course of Gifford Lectures delivered by Prof. Lloyd Morgan, and continues the first volume published under the title of “Emergent Evolution.” It should be read in conjunction with the earlier volume, otherwise there are parts of the argument which might be found difficult to follow. Indeed, even with this aid, it is, it must be confessed, by no means easy reading. But the difficulty arises, in the main, from the difficulty of the subject and the profundity of the thought; and those who will make the effort to master the argument will find themselves amply rewarded. They will be encouraged in this task by the appeal that the tone and style of the writing must make to all readers, for the book, as a whole, is marked to an impressive degree by the dignity and urbanity of ripened wisdom.
