Haeckel’s scientific religion
Haeckel, however, was not simply a biologist in the sense that we would use that
word today. For he saw himself—and was seen by many German intellectuals and
artists in the latter part of the nineteenth century and the early part of the twentieth
century—as the founder of a new scientific religion. He called his
philosophy monism and saw himself as the leader of a movement of aggressive
rationalism which would eventually rid Germany of the last traces of superstitious
religion and replace Christianity with a religion which glorified modern
science.
