This was not included in the catalogue of the conventions of the higher bourgeoisie. 1 – Jean-Paul Crespelle The Julian Academy In 1893, when she was fifteen, Mirra passed her final school examinations and joined an art studio, the Académie Julian, one of the many private art schools in Paris. She would attend its courses for four years. ‘The name of the institution to which the... at the Beaux-Arts before 1897 – and Mirra was not interested in an artistic career, but in the practice, mastery and enjoyment of art itself. The Julian Academy, ‘the only serious art school for women,’ was founded by the painter Rodolphe Julian in 1868 and had several branches in Paris. Like the Académie Suisse and other Parisian schools of the kind, it was a place of great freedom. There were... princesses ‘to be done from photographs.’ Mirra may also have met Henri, already a painter of established reputation, in one of the many places where the artists’ crowd met. He had actually visited the Julian Academy while he was a student of the famous Gustave Moreau at the Beaux-Arts.

... sees in co-ordinated self-preservation the essential of life. Joseph Needham too Page 230 has often expressed his opinion that the central problem in biology is "organizing relation." Julian Huxley is aware of this no less. But when we have put aside the notion of character of constituents and concentrated on organization we have not yet emphasised the entire differentia of the living... christened "organizers". They were found markedly to affect development. The most outstanding name here is the German embryologist H. Spemann. Looking at Spemann's work as well as at that of others, Julian Huxley predicted in 1933 that in a short time the organizing powers of a living thing would be reduced to a chemical formula and stored in a bottle. It seems, however, that the short time has not yet... and through environmental conditions. Today the Darwinian theme of "Nature red in tooth and claw" has given place to a more subtle and complex understanding of natural selection: indeed, according to Julian Huxley, sanguinary competition is now held to be mostly an anti- evolutionary force, the main part assigned to natural selection being an effect on what is designated as "differential fertility" among ...

"Yet I dare say, Vernon" replied Erinna "you do not believe a word of what Agathon has been saying." "Yet your belief is the bastard of Momus rather than the heir of Peitho" rejoined Helen Woodward.

... the New Synthesis. And there were also Ernst Mayr and George Simpson, researchers as well as popularizers of ‘Darwinism’ in its new formula of “ genetics plus natural selection.” And there was Julian Huxley (1887-1975), who in his person integrated and symbolized this whole scientific upturn. It was his influential book Evolution: The Modern Synthesis (1942) that gave the movement its name. It... laureate for medicine, who became the founding director-general of UNESCO, starred in BBC programmes, supervised the production of nature films and won an Oscar for one of them. For a time the names Julian Huxley and evolution became more or less synonymous, and he was ranked as one of the five best brains of Britain. “Huxley believed in human progress with a religious zeal, and he wanted others to share... be reduced to simple elements accessible to such treatment, without undue worry whether the specific characteristics of a complex phenomenon, for instance man, may be lost in the process.” 42 Julian Huxley and George Simpson “saw belief in God as a remnant of a prior stage in human psychological evolution.

... clearer picture of the three principles in our world-system as well as of that world-system as a whole. The best starting-point here is by way of an analogy from the view of matter taken by the biologist Julian Huxley in one of his neo-materialistic declarations. He denies any gap in the continuity of physical processes. According to him there is no special vital principle injected into material phenomena... have little finality in a multifarious world like ours. We have tried to show how scientific study compels us in every field to put materialism aside - even a neo-materialism such as suggested once by Julian Huxley, which makes mind and matter two aspects of a single organisation or world-stuff in which the chief and basic aspect is matter. That monism of this sort does not do justice to the full findings... subscribe to a non-materialistic philosophy, the Darwinian theme of "Nature red in tooth and claw" has given place to a more subtle and complex understanding of natural selection: indeed, according to Julian Huxley, sanguinary competition is now held to be mostly an anti-evolutionary force, the main part assigned to natural selection being an effect on what is labelled as "differential fertility" among ...
... known. Scientists may be said to be more intuitive than inspired — though the case of Kekule is as of a visionary poet or painter. Possibly Darwin too "saw" the truth in the instance of which Sir Julian Huxley spoke some years ago in a broadcast: "Darwin... in Ch. 4 of the Origin of Species explains at some length why natural selection inevitably produces diversification (and in his autobiography... through the universe." Again, Science, unless it wishes to emulate the dogmatic materialism of the nineteenth century, cannot be pledged to a mere reduction of life and mind to matter. The biologist Julian Huxley tells us: "materialism, according to which mind is 'a function of the body (matter) and depends upon it completely' ... is an easy thesis to demolish." And Haldane himself admits: "the biologist ...
... into a religion. Galton had already written “Eugenics has become a faith. It must become a religious belief.” Julian Huxley will write in 1936: “Once all the consequences of evolutionary biology will be found out, eugenics will inevitably become part of the religion of the future.” And Julian Huxley, president to be of UNESCO, “will write in 1941, at the moment that the Nazis in their experimental gas ...

Like Darwin’s Origins in 1859 and Julian Huxley’s Evolution: The Modern Synthesis in 1942, Wilson’s book was the catalysis of a thought movement in search of a formulation. In the mid-70s a spate of books appeared about aspects of the central ...

Some evolutionary biologists have elevated Darwin above the angels. “At the Darwin Centennial in 1959, Julian Huxley delivered his famous oration announcing that evolution would be the new religion, leaving no doubt at all in the minds of those who were paying attention that many Darwinists were not simply ...

When it was too late, some attempt was made to re-spiritualise the Page 247 old religion, and there was the remarkable effort of Julian and Libanius to set up a regenerated Paganism against triumphant Christianity; but the attempt was too unsubstantial, too purely philosophic, empty of the dynamic power of the religious spirit.

Julian Huxley in his Evolution, A Modern Synthesis (London, 1942) refers to it twice (pp. 304, 523), mentioning the original enunciation of it by three early biologists: Baldwin (1896, 1902), Osborne (1897) ...
