Book Description
INTRODUCTION. The nature of the following work will be best understood by a brief account of how it came to be written. During many years I collected notes on the origin or descent of man, without any intention of publishing on the subject, but rather with the determination not to publish, as I thought that I should thus only add to the prejudices against my views. It seemed to me sufficient to indicate, in the first edition of my 'Origin of Species,' that by this work "light would be thrown on the origin of man and his history;" and this implies that man must be included with other organic beings in any general conclusion respecting his manner of appearance on this earth. Now the case wears a wholly different aspect. When a naturalist like Carl Vogt ventures to say in his address as President of the National Institution of Geneva (1869), "personne, en Europe au moins, n'ose plus soutenir la creation indépendante et de toutes pièces, des espèces," it is manifest that at least a large number of naturalists must admit that species are the modified descendants of other species; and this especially holds good with the younger and rising naturalists. The greater number accept the agency of natural selection; though some urge, whether with justice the future must decide, that I have greatly overrated its importance. Of the older and honoured chiefs in natural science, many unfortunately are still opposed to evolution in every form. In consequence of the views now adopted by most naturalists, and which will ultimately, as in every other case, be followed by others who are not scientific, I have been led to put together my notes, so as to see how far the general conclusions arrived at in my former works were applicable to man. This seemed all the more desirable, as I had never deliberately applied these views to a species taken singly. When we confine our attention to any one form, we are deprived of the weighty arguments derived from the nature of the affinities which connect together whole groups of organisms—their geographical distribution in past and present times, and their geological succession. The homological structure, embryological development, and rudimentary organs of a species remain to be considered, whether it be man or any other animal, to which our attention may be directed; but these great classes of facts afford, as it appears to me, ample and conclusive evidence in favour of the principle of gradual evolution. The strong support derived from the other arguments should, however, always be kept before the mind.

Book Description
In "Thoughts on Man, His Nature, Productions and Discoveries" by William Godwin, the author explores the complexities of human nature, the advancements in society, and the impact of human discoveries on civilization. Written in a philosophical and thought-provoking style, Godwin delves into the essence of humanity while analyzing the progress made through various discoveries and innovations. The book reflects the Enlightenment period's focus on reason, rationality, and the potential for human improvement through education and self-awareness. Godwin's literary approach combines critical analysis with a deep understanding of human behavior and societal evolution, making this work a significant contribution to the philosophical discourse of his time. William Godwin, known for his radical political views and advocacy for individual freedom, brings a unique perspective to the exploration of human nature in this book. His background as a political philosopher and novelist likely influenced his motivations for writing on such a profound topic. I recommend "Thoughts on Man, His Nature, Productions and Discoveries" to readers interested in philosophical reflections on human existence, societal progress, and the ethical implications of scientific advancements.
