Summary Of "Nature And Culture" By Mirtha Lischetti - UNIVERSITY SUMMARIES - E-book - ePub

We have summarized here the essential of this book by the author. NATURE AND CULTUREDarwin's work: science, power and worldviewThe publication in 1859 of THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES by Charles DARWIN caused a stir, since the work QUESTIONED THE RELIGIOUS POSTULATES ABOUT THE ORIGIN OF MAN (that he would no longer descend from God but from the monkey). The so-called creationists will accuse evolutionism of being materialistic and atheistic, and although Darwin did not want to confront the Church, some of his disciples, such as E.
Haeckel, will flatly deny the resurrection of bodies, the immortality of the soul and the proposition of an essential difference between man and other animals.
