Summary "Science and Morals and Other Essays" by Sir Bertram C. A. Windle is a collection of essays written in the early 20th century. The book explores the intersection of scientific thought and moral philosophy, addressing how scientific advancements can influence ethical considerations in society. The opening portion suggests a critical examination of scientific views on heredity, evolution, and the role of morality in human existence. At the start of the volume, the author reflects on the nature of scientific discussions and the shifting paradigms within the scientific community, particularly leading up to World War I. Windle highlights the complexity of topics such as heredity, natural selection, and the implications of a purely materialistic worldview, questioning whether science can provide a comprehensive moral framework. His analysis indicates a tension between scientific inquiry and moral values, setting the stage for more profound discussions in the subsequent essays. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
