A Philosophical Inquiry" by George Ticknor Curtis is a philosophical work written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the conflict between the modern scientific theory of evolution, particularly as articulated by figures like Charles Darwin and Herbert Spencer, and the concept of a divine Creator. Through a careful examination of these weighty themes, Curtis aims to provide clarity around the implications of these beliefs for humanity's understanding of existence and purpose. The opening of the text establishes the foundational questions that humanity grapples with regarding existence and divinity, underscoring the universal desire to understand one's place in the universe. Curtis introduces his inquiry by explaining how he became interested in the theories of evolution and the need for a rational examination of the arguments surrounding creation and evolution. He emphasizes the importance of testing these ideas against rational principles, setting the stage for further discussions that will contrast the doctrine of evolution with belief in special creation, leading into a detailed reflection on the implications for religious belief and moral accountability.
