Summary Of "Nature And Culture" By Mirtha Lischetti: UNIVERSITY SUMMARIES

By MAURICIO ENRIQUE FAU

We have summarized here the essential of this book by the author.

NATURE AND CULTURE

Darwin's work: science, power and worldview

The 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.

NATURE AND CULTURE

Darwin's work: science , power and worldview

The 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.

In the context of the Industrial Revolution and the bourgeois revolutions (especially the French Revolution), science was advancing and some of its formulations were highly critical of the existing order. Thus, the old Cartesian dualistic division that saw man with a res cogitans (soul-reason) and a resextensive (the body), was discarded.

At the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century, anatomy, physiology, psychology and morality will become part of a single knowledge about man, who is now seen as on a par with other animals, in his natural environment. , but also in its historical context and subject to human laws.

This question of the biological and the historical will produce a CONFRONTATION BETWEEN THE BIOLOGICAL AND THE HISTORICAL EXPLANATION: for some, man behaves as he does for unchangeable biological causes; for others, history makes man and man makes his history, and therefore is capable of changing his circumstances, in a vision that he challenged BIOLOGICISM. This biology-history antagonism has moderated over time.

In the 19th century, the so-called SOCIAL DARWINISM emerged, in the heat of British colonial expansion. Although the European standard of living was improving with economic changes, authors such as Malthus were concerned that population growth outstripped food growth and that it was therefore not a bad thing that the poor, lazy and useless disappeared, to leave their place to the strongest and best adapted.

Although the opposite is often claimed, Darwin drew on Malthus and others to posit the theory of evolution, shifting the struggle for survival from the social to the natural (thus, the term social Darwinism would be misused to indicate that the original base of the approach was Darwin).

Spencer, one of the main promoters of social Darwinism, said that less intelligent individuals and races die, allowing the level of general intelligence to rise gradually. The struggle for life
