I read and wrote a book report on Le hasard et la necessite by Jacques Lucien Monod, a renowned French molecular biologist. This book explains the life sciences, especially molecular biology, using natural philosophy. Chapter 1, D’étranges objets, is an introduction that does not cover big concepts, but uses logical thinking to explain man-made, natural, and living things. The first...
I watched the play “The Judgment” by Franz Kafka, which explores the tragedy of human isolation in society. As it is now, I lived a life far away from theater since I was a child, so naturally, I had few opportunities to go to theater, museums, and concerts, and I had little interest in it. Even as an adult, I was completely ignorant about theater. My experience with theater...
I read Yuval Noah Harari’s book Sapiens, and it made me think that it is not justifiable to make people happy by manipulating their biochemical systems. Scientific advances from the past have advanced to the point where it is possible to make people happy by manipulating their biochemical systems. In the book Sapiens, author Yuval Noah Harari explains that today’s biologists...
I have read William A. Dembski’s book Intelligent Design. I think it is undesirable to view all coincidences as design by an intelligent being. Let’s discuss why. In his book Intelligent Design, William A. Dembski argues for the theory of intelligent design, which states that an intelligent being designed life with intention. This contradicts the traditional theory of...
Read Thomas Kuhn’s The Structure of Scientific Revolutions to understand why rational science develops irrationally. Since the modern era, science has gained unbounded human trust. The epistemological justification that science is certain truth, along with the material abundance it promised, reinforced faith in it. The development of science and philosophical explanations of the...
Read Darwin’s Table, a book by Korean professor Daeik Jang, to find out whether genes are a product of evolution or evolution is a product of genes.

Darwin’s concept of evolution brilliantly explained the differentiation and development of species...
Learn what Romanticism is with a focus on Alphonse de Lamartine and Karel Hynek Matcha. Introduction Originally, Romanticism is a literary movement that originated in Germany, traveled to England, and then to France. However, in the case of the Czech Republic, Romanticism was heavily influenced by French Romanticism, rather than German Romanticism, which was the origin of...
I read the book The same and not the same by Roald Hoffman and wrote a book review. Today, our society considers equality as one of the most important values and strives for it. Equality is stated in the Korean Constitution, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights points out that all human beings are equal in dignity and rights from the very first article. In Korea, the fact that...
I read the book Pasteur’s quadrant : basic science and technological innovation by Donald E. Stokes and wrote a book review. Pasteur’s quadrant, or Pasteur’s quadrant, refers to “use-inspired basic science” that is not biased toward either basic science or practical value. If we were to divide scientific research into four quadrants, basic and applied, Edison...
After reading the book Darwin’s Table by Korean professor Dae-Ik Jang, I wondered if the natural world is really moving in a progressive direction. Are plants and animals in the natural world evolving in a progressive direction? Until now, I used to think that the body structure and brain have evolved in the past in a way that naturally increases in complexity over time, but reading...
