Beschreibung zu „First and Last Things“

First and Last Things is a 1908 work of philosophy by H. G. Wells setting forth his beliefs in four "books" entitled "Metaphysics," "Of Belief," "Of General Conduct," and "Some Personal Things."

First and Last Things is a 1908 work of philosophy by H. G. Wells setting forth his beliefs in four "books" entitled "Metaphysics," "Of Belief," "Of General Conduct," and "Some Personal Things." Parts of the book were published in the Independent Magazine in July and August 1908. Wells revised the book extensively in 1917, in response to his religious conversion, but later published a further revision in 1929 that restored much of the book to its earlier form. Its main intellectual influences are Darwinism and certain German thinkers Wells had read, such as August Weismann. The pragmatism of William James, who had become a friend of Wells, was also an influence.

Über H. G. Wells

Herbert George Wells, geboren 1866 in Bromley bei London, widmete sich nach einem naturwissenschaftlichen Studium immer mehr dem Schreiben. Er bezeichnete sich selbst als Autor »wissenschaftlich fundierter Abenteuergeschichten« und führte Phänomene wie Unsichtbarkeit, Zeitreisen und die Invasion der Erde durch Ungeheuer aus dem All in die Literatur ein. Damit gelangte der Gesellschaftssatiriker und Utopist nicht nur zu Weltruhm, sondern gestaltete die Entwicklung der Science fiction entscheidend mit. H. G. Wells starb 1946 in London.
