Autorenporträt
John Fiske, born Edmund Fiske Green on March 30, 1842, in Hartford, Connecticut, was a notable American philosopher and historian who made a significant impact in the late 19th-century intellectual landscape. He pursued his education at Harvard University and later went on at Harvard Law School, though his penchant for philosophical and historical research eclipsed his legal practice. Fiske's literary contributions include numerous works, but 'The Idea of God as Affected by Modern Knowledge' stands out as a prominent examination of religious thought in light of contemporary scientific advancements. In this book, Fiske navigated the challenging terrain of reconciling scientific discoveries with theological concepts, an effort emblematic of his broader intellectual endeavors to harmonize Darwinian evolutionary theory with philosophical and religious perspectives. With erudition and an accessible prose style, Fiske was influential in popularizing Darwinism in America. His ability to synthesize complex ideas from various domains and present them to a general audience set him apart as a preeminent scholar of his time. Fiske's works remain a significant historical source for studying the intersection of science, religion, and philosophy during a transformative period in American intellectual history.
