Excerpt: 

"Kant...accepted the notion of things-in-themselves existing independently of any knowledge.... As his starting point [he took it] that any specific knowledge we claim to have of such and such an external object is obtained through our senses, [and] hence is at best only indirect and questionable.... What we know directly and with certainty is therefore only the set of our ideas. [For example,] the very notion of causality [is] an a priori mode of human understanding," in other words, an idea (d'Espagnat 1995:5-7).

Namaste! (I welcome you with my head bowed down in respect)
This site is dedicated to our ancestors in India that is Bharat. We are thankful to them as they told us-
Aatmanh Praticoolani Paresham na samacharet |
Meaning: "Do not do any thing to others which you do not want to be done with yourself." So if you want to be forgiven, forgive others. If you want to be cared, care others. If you do not want to be harmed, do not harm others........

Excerpt: 

"Faith and Reason" is an hour-length documentary about the interaction between science and religion, both historically and today. Through interviews with leading scientists and theologians, the program explores the history of the relationship between these two fields, and reveals that, contrary to widespread popular opinion, for most of history science and religion have been deeply entwined. Moreover, the program looks at a growing movment of scientists and theologians around the world today who believe that faith and reason can support one another. Here we consider issues in evolutionary biology, cosmology, genetics, and technology.

Excerpt: 

Robert Hooke's father was John Hooke who was a curate at All Saints Church in Freshwater on the Isle of Wight. Although formally a curate, since the minister was also Dean of Gloucester Cathedral and of Wells, John Hooke was left in charge of All Saints. It was a well off church being in the patronage of St John's College, Cambridge. As well as his duties in the church, John Hooke also ran a small school attached to the church and acted as a private tutor. Robert had a brother named John, the same as his father, who was five years older.

Excerpt: 

Joseph Dalton Hooker was arguably the most important British botanist of the nineteenth century. A traveller and plant-collector, he was one of Charles Darwin’s closest friends and eventually became director of Britain’s Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
The image on the left shows the house in Halesworth, Suffolk, where Hooker was born in 1817. A plaque (inset) commemorates the fact.
These pages are intended to provide some basic information about Joseph Hooker

Annotation: 

Few sites offer much information about Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker, the Kew Gardens botanist who worked closely with Charles Darwin while exploring the impact of natural selection on flora. This easily navigated site, produced by a University of Cambridge graduate student, fills this gap to some extent. The thorough biography that includes a brief sketch of Hooker's friendship with Charles Darwin compliments the bibliography of Hooker and links to history of botany sites around the world. Most significantly, the site also points researchers toward archives around the world that host collections relevant to the life and work of Joseph Dalton Hooker. The site does not include primary documents such as the correspondence of or articles written by Hooker.
