Features: This book, The Riddle of the Universe, published in 1899, tells the "faith" of a great biologist. Ernst Haeckel, in the book, introduces his monistic philosophy to us for the first time in his elegant writing and accessible style. It was a bestseller in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and a highly influential monograph on the philosophy of natural science. The book is rich in content, easy to understand, and full of passion. Author Ernst Haeckel systematically introduces the monistic philosophy in the book. Based on Darwin's theory of evolution, he that the history of human evolution should be part of the history of cosmic evolution, resolutely opposing the "theory of divine creation" and advocating the monistic theory of truth, goodness, and beauty. The book resonated with many progressive contemporaries but also faced criticism from various sides. As a classic theoretical work, its significance lies not only in critiquing superstition while providing readers with beneficial scientific knowledge but also in the author's reflections and awareness of ecological environment issues. Ernst Haeckel was a scholar who studied the ecological environment as a discipline.
