Advance of Science in the Last Half-Century
Thomas Henry Huxley witnessed the greatest scientific transformation in human history. Writing in 1889, the man Darwin called "my bulldog" surveys half a century of revolutionary discovery, from Maxwell's electromagnetic theory to Pasteur's germ theory, from the cell doctrine to the periodic table's emergence. But this isn't mere chronology. Huxley, the era's supreme essayist, places these discoveries within the long arc of philosophical thought, from Aristotle to the present, asking what science has revealed about the nature of knowledge itself. His prose, clear and vigorous, makes the intellectual drama of discovery palpable. Here is Victorian science not as dusty textbook but as lived adventure, the story of how the world was remade in a single generation, told by one of its most brilliant participants.
