Huxley is very knowledgeable, and rational and clear in his writings. He leaves alone subjects which cannot be fathomed, and deals with the theoretical in a practical manner. For this reason, he accepts that religion is something science should not deal with, in so far as its precepts are metaphysical and do not claim to intrude on the physical domain of science, and coined the term agnostic to describe his position. This is perhaps something which certain contemporary scientists should consider, instead of floundering around out of their depth.
The political opinions, though formed in a time different to our own, are still quite relevant. The principals on which they are built benefit from the distinctions made between nature and civilisation, distinctions made by someone with both good biological and ethical insight. ( )
