Thomas Henry Huxley

    4. květen 1825 – 29. červen 1895

    Thomas Henry Huxley byl anglický lékař a vědec, který zpopularizoval termín „agnostik“. Jeho filozofie agnosticismu spočívala v neúnavném uplatňování principu, že každý by měl být schopen obhájit svou víru rozumem. Huxley se zasazoval o to, abychom v intelektuálních záležitostech následovali svůj rozum až na hranice možností a nepřijímali závěry, které nejsou prokázané či prokazatelné. Jeho práce byla klíčová pro obhajobu vědeckého myšlení oproti náboženským dogmatům.

      What is life? This question gives a new interest to every department of science that relates to life in any form, and the history of life offers a most suggestive field for research. The paleontology took its origin in the mind of the first person who, finding something like a shell or a bone naturally imbedded in gravel or in rock, indulged in speculations upon the nature of this thing which he had dug out-this "fossil"-and upon the causes which had brought it into such a position. In this rudimentary form, a high antiquity may safely be ascribed to paleontology, inasmuch as we know that, five hundred years before the Christian era, the philosophic doctrines of Xenophanes were influenced by his observations upon the fossil remains exposed in the quarries of Syracuse. From this time forth, not only the philosophers, but the poets, the historians, the geographers of antiquity occasionally refer to fossils; and after the revival of learning lively controversies arose respecting their real nature.
