Charles Darwin and his cohort were the 'gradualists'. They believed evolution took place very slowly and was based in the gradual process of elimination by trial and error over the lifespan of generations. The opposing view, the predominant theory among pre-Darwinians like Lamarck, was 'saltationism', in which evolution was driven by the spontaneous birth of a 'monster', an individual with such a thoroughly distinct mutation that it was essentially a new species and would provide the basic material for all further speciation to come. This would be like a lizard's egg hatching a brilliant feathered bird, a Pre-Lapsarian phoenix from which all future birds would be derived by iterative re-combination.'Star Maker' is that bird borne from lizard egg. It embodies such a drastic mutation that it is practically sui generis. Even reading today the feeling is of awe at its scope of imagination, its philosophical fealty and deceptively easygoing prose which conducts, effortlessly, the readers ontological shift from the domestic tragedies of an individual life to the rise and fall of civilizations to the founding of intergalactic class conciousness to the entropic decline of our universe, to the birth and dissolution of other universes in the cosmic cycle of creation. Star Maker contains, in embryonic form, everything which would subsequently sprout from the scifi genre. The entire concepts of 'future history' and 'speculative evolution', though they have their primitive forebears before Stapledon, are in 'Star Maker' manifest in their crystal forever form and will henceforth be genetically recombined into infinity. If any of its ancestors have matched its objective scale in composing a history of an entire universe I rest assured knowing that none will have matched its rare literary quality, the subtle aspect of its satire and tragedy, the melancholic philosophizing which brings me back to the book again and again. There really is a universe of thought contained in these pages. The Deleuzian "creation of the new" pours through this book like a river, not a drop of which goes to waste, like a hit of acid and I mean that without hyperbole. It is so lucid and distinct yet operating at subtle dimensions usually not open to perception, the fractal repetition of form from lowest to highest orders appears glowing in the sunlit edges of reality when you put the book down. There is nothing else like it, and to think Stapledon wrote this in the 1930s is actually mind-boggling. Everytime you think he has reached the limits of visionary insight or emotional depth Stapledon reveals a yet greater scale of imagination, only to reveal yet another beyond that, and this escalation is maintained to the very last pages. Really an outstanding book, amazing actually ...more | notes Notes are private! | comments 0 | votes 0 | # times read 1 | date started Sep 19, 2024 | date read Sep 26, 2024 | date added Sep 19, 2024 | owned | format Paperback | actions view (with text) | | | | | checkbox | position | cover Nature | title Nature | author Emerson, Ralph Waldo | isbn 0807015563 | isbn13 9780807015568 | asin 0807015563 | num pages 160pp | avg rating 3.78 | num ratings 5,850 | date pub 1836 | date pub edition Jan 01, 1985 | Dat-Dangk's rating liked it | my rating 1 of 5 stars2 of 5 stars3 of 5 stars4 of 5 stars5 of 5 stars add to shelves | review None | notes Notes are private! | comments 0 | votes 0 | # times read 1 | date started Sep 19, 2024 | date read Sep 20, 2024 | date added Sep 19, 2024 | owned | format Hardcover | actions view | | | | | checkbox | position | cover Phone Calls from the Dead: The results of a two-year investigation into an incredible phenomenon | title Phone Calls from the Dead: The results of a two-year investigation into an incredible phenomenon | author Rogo, D.
