Abstract

Ernst Haeckel and Emil du Bois-Reymond were the most prominent champions of Darwin in Germany. This essay compares their contributions to popularizing the theory of evolution, drawing special attention to the neglected figure of du Bois-Reymond as a spokesman for a world devoid of natural purpose. It suggests that the historiography of the German reception of Darwin's theory needs to be reassessed in the light of du Bois-Reymond's Lucretian outlook.

摘要

恩斯特·海克尔和埃米尔·杜布瓦-雷蒙德是德国达尔文理论最杰出的拥护者。本文比较了他们在推广进化论方面的贡献，特别关注被忽视的杜布瓦-雷蒙德这一人物，他是一个否认自然目的世界的代言人。文章指出，鉴于杜布瓦-雷蒙德的卢克莱修式观点，德国接受达尔文理论的史学需要重新评估。
