"Les énigmes de l'Univers" by Ernst Haeckel is a philosophical and scientific work written in the late 19th century. The book presents a comprehensive exploration of the relationship between scientific advancement and philosophical inquiry, particularly focusing on the quest for truth in understanding the universe and humanity's place within it. Haeckel addresses the significant knowledge gained during the 19th century concerning nature, while also critiquing the slow progress in theoretical interpretation and the synthesis between empirical science and philosophy. At the start of the book, Haeckel provides a preface outlining the context of the scientific knowledge attained by the conclusion of the 19th century, noting both the triumphs and shortcomings in understanding the universe. He emphasizes the growing tension between the advancements in natural science and the philosophical systems that have not kept pace. Haeckel aims to highlight the importance of a unified philosophy that synthesizes scientific discoveries with a broader understanding of existence, setting the stage for discussing the various "enigmas" that define human existence and the cosmos. He introduces the idea of a monist philosophy, which seeks to resolve the dualistic conflicts of thought prevalent during this period, and prepares the reader for an examination of the critical questions surrounding the nature of reality.
