More DescriptionAlexander F. Skutch (1904-2004), born and raised in the United States, became famous for his life history studies of tropical birds in Central America. He also gained wide recognition for his unique contributions to botany, nature writing, and environmentalism. In addition, he developed a highly original and profound philosophy of life (as highlighted, for instance, in Roy May's Alexander F. Skutch: Life's Thinker, 2015). The present book - the third volume of a trilogy - comprises selections from his unpublished work (Skutch Archive, CCT, Costa Rica), specifically relating to his early philosophy (including his thoughts on science, animals, freedom, morality, human existence, international politics, faith, God, nature religion, and immortality).
