Abstract
MOST European students are inclined not to take Fundamentalism very seriously; but its power and expansion in the United States are truly alarming. Nor is there any certitude that it will not jump the Atlantic. As a symptom, moreover, it is disquieting. It shows how frail is the hold which science has on modern civilisation; how easily its scope can be mistaken; how strong is the antagonism against the cold light of research, when it dispels man's claims to be the aim of creation. Fundamentalism is certainly not only the most ludicrous but also among the most depressing phenomena of recent intellectual life. The Ascent of Man by Means of Natural Selection. By Alfred Machin. Pp. xx + 325. (London: Longmans, Green and Co., 1925.) 7s. 6d. net.
