Publisher's Synopsis
Microcosmus: An Essay Concerning Man And His Relation To The World is a philosophical work written by Hermann Lotze. The book explores the relationship between human beings and the world around them. Lotze argues that humans are not separate from the natural world, but rather are a part of it. He uses the concept of the microcosm to explain this relationship, stating that humans are a reflection of the larger universe. The book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the nature of man and his place in the world. Lotze discusses the human mind, consciousness, and perception, arguing that these are all connected to the physical world. He also explores the concept of free will and the role it plays in human existence. The second part of the book focuses on the relationship between humans and the natural world. Lotze argues that humans have a responsibility to care for the environment and respect the natural order of things. He also explores the role of science and technology in human progress, cautioning against the dangers of unchecked technological advancement. Overall, Microcosmus is a thought-provoking work that challenges readers to consider their place in the world and their relationship to the natural environment. Lotze's insights into the human condition and the importance of environmental stewardship remain relevant today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
