출판사 서평

줄리언 헉슬리의 생물학자의 에세이들.The Book, Essays of a Biologist, by Julian Huxley
PREFACE
A preface should be long, like one of Mr. Shaw’s, or short. I propose the latter.
The essays here collected were written on very various occasions. This must
excuse the considerable overlap that will be found among them. I have not
thought it worth while to attempt to get rid of this, since, though facts may be
repeated, the point of view and general context are on each occasion different.
Contrary to all custom, I have put the meat courses at the two ends of my menu.
If an author may presume to advise his readers, I would suggest that, after
finishing the first essay, they should (if they retain a stomach for more) proceed
at once to the last. This done, they will find the others all in a sense lesser
variations (if I may change my metaphor) upon the same themes.
In spite, however, of the diversity of their occasions, there is a common thread
running through them, a common background of ideas. I do not know whether I
am justified in calling those ideas especially biological, but they are certainly
ideas which must present themselves to any biologist who[ Pg viii] does not
deliberately confine himself to the technicalities of his science.
The biologist cannot fail to be impressed by the fact that his science to- day is,
roughly and broadly speaking, in the position which Chemistry and Physics
occupied a century ago. It is beginning to reach down from observation to
experimental analysis, and from experimental analysis to grasp of principle.
Furthermore, as the grasp of principles in physico- chemical science led speedily
to an immense new extension both of knowledge and of control, so it is not to
be doubted that like effects will spring from like causes in biology. But whereas
the extension of control in physics and chemistry led to a multiplication of the
number of things which man could do and experience, the extension of control
in biology will inter alia mean an alteration of the modes of man’s experience
itself. The one, that is to say, remained in essence a quantitative change so far
as concerns the real life of man; the other can be a qualitative change. Applied
physics and chemistry bring more grist to the mill; applied biology will also be
capable of changing the mill itself.
The possibilities of physiological improvement, of the better combination of
existing psychical faculties, of the education of old faculties to new heights, and
of the discovery of new faculties altogether―all this is no utopian silliness, but is
bound to come about if science continues her current progress.
