Life and Matter: A Criticism of Professor Haeckel’s Riddle of the Universe

""Life and Matter: A Criticism of Professor Haeckel's Riddle of the Universe"" is a book written by Sir Oliver Lodge, a British physicist and writer. The book is a critique of the scientific theories proposed by Ernst Haeckel, a German biologist and philosopher, who attempted to explain the origin of life and the universe through his concept of Monism. Lodge challenges Haeckel's ideas, arguing that his scientific theories are flawed and that his philosophy is incomplete. The book explores the relationship between matter and life, and the role of consciousness in the universe. Lodge offers a new perspective on the nature of reality, proposing that there is a spiritual dimension to the universe that cannot be explained by scientific materialism. The book is a thought-provoking exploration of the mysteries of the universe, and a challenge to the prevailing scientific orthodoxy of the time. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the philosophy of science and the nature of reality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
