[The human being from the point of view of animals or, "Who knows whether the breath of men goes upwards?" (Ecclesiastes 3:21)].

The question of whether animals have souls has been asked since as early as the Old Testament. Where this is believed to be true, fiction has provided interesting models in literature: The human being as seen by animals has been a popular subject since Apuleius' 'Asinus aureus' and how man appears from the perspective of a donkey or a beetle, that is to say the perspective from below, becomes controversial. Examples may be found in all languages and centuries in Jonathan Swift, Miguel Cervantes, E. T. A. Hoffmann, Ludwig Tieck, Heinrich Heine, Viktor von Scheffel, Franz Kafka and others. Résumé at the end: How does man answer this question or his own self-questioning?

In God's garden. Creation and cloning in Jewish thought.

The possibility of cloning-human beings challenges Western beliefs about creation and our relationship to God. If we understand God as the Creator and creation as a completed act, cloning will be a transgression. If, however, we understand God as the Power of Creation and creation as a transformative process, we may find a role for human participation, sharing that power as beings created in the image of God.

Attitude to Death↗

[From the Creationist Pierre-Joseph Van Beneden to his Darwinian son Edouard].

In the XIXth century, Pierre-Joseph and Edouard Van Beneden were the two most prominent zoologists in Belgium. If one looks for other cases of father and son having both lead eminent scientific careers, a definite kinship is usually observed. But in the present instance, the publication of the Origin of Species by Darwin in 1859 gave rise to a drastic antithesis. The father remained a convinced creationist and an authoritative representative of the catholic religion while the son became an unconditional Darwinist and an atheist. He was not only the bright teacher, the passionate research worker and the great scientific leader reported by his pupils. His behaviour was also typical of a provocative scientist of the end of the XIXth century and a great stoic.
