Les Ascensions Humaines

Les Ascensions Humaines: Évolutionnisme et Catholicisme, written by Antonio Fogazzaro and originally published in 1901, explores the complex relationship between evolutionary theory and Catholic doctrine. Fogazzaro, a prominent Italian novelist and intellectual, delves into the philosophical and theological implications of Darwinian evolution, examining its potential compatibility with Catholic beliefs. This work offers a fascinating glimpse into the intellectual debates of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as thinkers grappled with the challenges posed by new scientific discoveries to traditional religious views. Fogazzaro’s analysis provides valuable insights into the historical context of these debates and the enduring questions that continue to shape discussions about science and faith. This edition makes Fogazzaro’s thought accessible to contemporary readers interested in the history of science, religious thought, and the intersection of evolution and Catholicism.
