First edition stated. <br /><br /><b>HUMANISM AND EVOLUTION--SIGNED FIRST EDITION COLLECTION OF ESSAYS BY 20TH CENTURY LUMINARIES ASSEMBLED BY JULIAN HUXLEY.</b> <br /><br />9 1/2 inches tall hardcover black cloth binding with publisher's gilt logo to cover gilt title to spine decorative endpapers signed on title page "Julian Huxley/ Cleveland/ May 10 1962" 432 pp. Faint water stain bottom edge of endpapers otherwise very good no dust jacket in archival mylar cover. <br /><br /><b>FROM PREFACE</b>: "This book is an attempt to present Humanism as a comprehensive system of ideas. It is no sudden venture but the natural outcome of a long process of gestation and development begun more than half a century ago in an attempt to reconcile or integrate various aspects of my life- my biological training my twin loves of nature and poetry my wrestlings with the problems of morality and belief and continued in the effort to extend the concept of evolution over the widest possible range of phenomena. The gist of the book can be summed up in a few sentences. There have been two critical points in the past of evolution points at which the process transcended itself by passing from an old state to a fresh one with quite new properties. The first was marked by the passage from the inorganic phase to the biological the second by that from the biological to the psychosocial. Now we are on the threshold of a third. As the bubbles in a cauldron on the boil mark the onset of the critical passage of water from the liquid to the gaseous state so the ebullition of humanist ideas in the cauldron of present-day thought marks the onset of the passage from the psychosocial to the consciously purposive phase of evolution. A prerequisite for the safe passage of this critical threshold and for the efficient working of the evolutionary process in its new self-conscious State will be the emergence of a new comprehensive pattern or system of ideas beliefs and guiding principles which are of general validity for the entire human community. I hope that this book will help in indicating the outline of that pattern and in laying foundations on which that system can later be erected." <br />0<br /><b>SIR JULIAN HUXLEY </b>1887 - 1975 was an English evolutionary biologist eugenicist and internationalist.
