ABSTRACT
Before making so serious a charge against a scientific theory as that it is both unscientific and unphilosophical, we will show that others have held a similar view and that among these are many scholars. We have already seen Prof. Paulsen’s remark that Haeckel’s reasonings are a “disgrace to the philosophy of Germany.” Prof. George Frederick Wright calls Evolution a “fad,” “the cast-off clothing of the evolutionary philosophy of fifty years ago.” The Duke of Argyle says, “It is such a violation of and departure from all that we know of the existing order of things as to deprive it of all scientific base.”
