"Haeckel: His Life and Work" by Wilhelm Bölsche is a biographical account written in the late 19th century. The book focuses on the influential German biologist Ernst Haeckel, exploring his life, ideas, and the impact of his contributions to science, particularly in the field of evolutionary biology. Haeckel's character is framed against the backdrop of 19th-century scientific thought, his passionate advocacy for Darwin's evolution theory, and his colorful personality in scientific circles. The opening of the work sets the stage by highlighting Haeckel's significant contributions and the controversies surrounding him. It delves into his early years, establishing a vivid account of his childhood influences, his relentless curiosity about nature, and his formative education. The narrative captures Haeckel's unique blend of scientific rigor and artistic sensibility, depicting how his upbringing and personal experiences shaped his philosophical approach to biology. Additionally, it foreshadows the conflicts and alliances he would encounter in his scientific career, particularly in relation to the Darwinian debate, positioning Haeckel as a pivotal figure in the evolution of biological thought.
