FABRE Jean Henri Fabre (1823–1915) - French entomologist, writer and teacher. * * * We must work by concentrating all our will so that it explodes, overturning obstacles. Sandals should always be preferred to the wings of imagination, no matter how tempting flight may seem.

Josep Palau i Fabre A date at a hotel that didn't take place... because of Picasso

Josep Palau i Fabre A date in a hotel that didn't take place... because of Picasso Josep Palau i Fabre (1917–2008) is a Catalan writer, poet and playwright. The multifaceted Catalan poet told in La Contra that in the late sixties he was friends with Picasso, who admired him, and that meeting with

Although other entomologists preferred to base their conclusions on studies of dead insects, Fabre observed insects directly in their natural habitat. His work was of great value, but his "The most important contribution is the introduction of an experimental method in the study of animal habitats, which was almost completely overlooked [by other scientists]."

“This method became especially effective in the brilliant hands of a zealous researcher [Fabray], who was a leader in this field. The use of this method is characteristic of all his entomological works.... And it has full recognition in France and America, where it is used by many biologists.”

Renaissance Man

Although Fabre's most important achievements were made in the field of entomology, his inquisitive mind and love of science allowed him to work as a physicist, chemist, zoologist and botanist. He even received several patents for the methods he developed for producing natural dyes, the most valuable of which was garancin.

Fabre noted that evolution requires an "incredible" abandonment of logic and reason, adding that evolutionists believe in fantastic ideas.

Fabre played an extremely important role in the popularization of science. His books were used “in schools throughout France, and were so attractive that not only students, but also their parents studied with them”. His ten volume " Souvenirs Entomoligiques"became the fundamental encyclopedia for the entire etymological science. Although the scientific arguments presented in these ten volumes were unprecedented, these important texts were written in a simple and popular style, like most of his other works. As a result, his books sold well and had a profound influence on an entire generation of his students.

At the age of 55, Fabre purchased a plot of land that became the main stage for his scientific research and observations for the rest of his life. His estate “Harmas de Sérignan” currently serves as a museum dedicated to his life and works.

Strong opposition to the ideas of Darwinism

Jean Henri Fabre's colleague, Charles Dravin, called him "the consummate observer". Darwin's verdict was that “this leading French entomologist did not dare to contradict ... the theories of the famous English naturalist”. In his work " On the Origin of Species Darwin quoted Fabre's words in support of his (Darwin's) conclusions, citing his words: “I don’t see any difficulty in the fact that, in the course of natural selection, a temporary habitat becomes permanent” - and Fabre completely disagreed with this conclusion.”.

In another example, Darwin quoted Fabre's words in support of his (Darwin's) theory of sexual selection (which Darwin believed was the driving force of evolution). And Fabre also disagreed with this conclusion. He poured out his feelings regarding Darwin by writing the following:

“My task was to inform [Darwin] of the results of some of his experiments, which he proposed to me to carry out in the course of our correspondence: it was a very pleasant task, however [the facts] ... deprived me of the desire to accept his theories ... I was just writing to him letter when the sad news reached me: Darwin had died. He has explored the deepest question of the origin of species, and now he will have to grapple with the last and darkest problem of the other world."

Although Darwin "fearlessly" waged war on the ideas of creationism, which Fabre firmly adhered to, Jean Henri asked God “prevent him from doing the same [unkindly] to those who adhere to [the ideas of evolutionism]”. Despite his battle against the ideas of Darwinism, he lived his purpose: every time he wrote the name Charles Darwin, he used it "with evidence of... respect and sympathy."

Having devoted his entire life to the study of nature, Jean Henri Fabre came to the conclusion that the genera originally created by God were established and unchanging, emphasizing: “we cannot refrain from proclaiming our need for a superior Mind, a Creator and initiator of order and harmony... a need for a Creator God.”.

Henry Morris called Fabre "a great Christian biologist" who throughout his life was an ardent opponent of ... the theory of evolution". Jean Henri's son, Augustin Fabre, who became his biographer, wrote that his father discovered "all the characteristics of genius" in many of the insects he studied.

Another biographer of Jean Henri Fabre, Percy Bicknell, wrote: “The theory of evolution, for which he found numerous reasons to criticize in the later years of his life, he subconsciously rejected while still a child.”. As an adult, Fabre "desperately criticized the very idea of ​​evolution" and, as a result, "his criticism is comprehensive, supported by detailed facts", kept evolutionists constantly on their toes as they tried to answer it; she didn't give them “to rest on the laurels of the great masters who developed the theory [of evolution].”

Fabre noted that each period of history had its “scientific madness; today it is an evolution.” Fabre also wrote that, through his explorations of the natural world, he regarded atheism as a “disease of modernity.”

Responding to one “evolutionist, and an evolutionist with a highly original position at that,” Fabre noted that evolution requires an “incredible” abandonment of logic and reason, adding that evolutionists believe in fantastic ideas, for example:

Fabre responded in detail to all the ideas of the evolutionists (which he called "crazy ideas"), for example, to their statements that Pithecanthropus was the ancestor of man. Fabre considered this conclusion an irresponsible assumption. Jean Henri expressed surprise that “there are people who absolutely seriously tell us that... it has been completely proven that man descended from some incomprehensibly drawn monkey”.

Fabre noted that each period of history had its “scientific madness; today it is an evolution.” Previously it was the “spontaneous generation of life”, but “Pasteur buried forever the crazy idea that life arose from a chemical conflict in a decaying mass.”.

Based on these historical lessons, Fabre wanted to demonstrate that evolution is not based on “sufficiently numerous and strong foundations” to allow one to conclude that it is true. And where there is not enough evidence, generalizations are used. In other words, the evolutionist “generalizes to the extreme, simplifying everything in his inability to see the complex... and will do so to an increasingly greater extent as he applies his powers of observation”. Fabre also wrote that, through his explorations of the natural world, he regarded atheism as a “disease of modernity.” You “You can skin me more easily than take away my faith in God.”.

“You can flay me more easily than you can rob me of my faith in God.”

CONCLUSION

Fabre “has had, and will continue to have, an enormous positive influence on science.” He “he was a professor in the highest sense of the word, and, moreover, a teacher of a very special nature, who educated followers with the magic of his style and the strongest interest in his works”. All of Fabre's works were not only original, but also met the highest standards. His biographer and sympathizer, Doctor G. V. Legros, rightly wrote that “he owes little to other scientists and authors, because his style, as well as the secret of his skill, are unique”.

In Fabre's works, which are called “scientific works written in the style of literary classics”, not only amazing insects are described in detail, but also absolute admiration for the structure, greatness and genius of everything in nature is expressed. All of his many books on insects are, in fact, creation textbooks, written to give glory to the Creator and to document the conclusion that evolution cannot and does not explain the natural world. The works of Jean Henri Fabre are essential reading for anyone who loves nature and science.

Life of insects. Stories of an entomologist. (Jean-Henri Fabre)

Format: FB2, OCR without errors
Jean-Henri Fabre
Year of manufacture: 1963
Genre: Nature and animals
Publisher: Moscow
Russian language
Number of pages: 460
Description: Jean-Henri Fabre (1823–1915) was somewhat similar to those whose customs, habits and secrets he tirelessly studied throughout his long life - insects. A dry man with a sharp nose and an attentive gaze from which nothing escaped, Fabre achieved everything in life on his own: he chose a calling he liked and made the whole world believe in himself; solely through his own efforts, he created an excellent laboratory for the study of insects; brought the science of insects out of dusty halls with dried beetles and butterflies into sun-baked open spaces, where all the exhibits of scientific collections dug minks, hunted, reproduced and took care of their offspring.
Tenacious, persistent, endlessly hardworking, Fabre made a real revolution in science, but the general public came to know and love him thanks to his inspirational stories about the life of butterflies, spiders, beetles, wasps and other small inhabitants of our world. More than one generation of nature lovers and simply passionate people has grown up on his stories about insects, which are on a par with Alfred Brehm’s “The Life of Animals.”

"Insects. They are the true owners of the earth. There are a billion billion of them, more than the stars in our galaxy... Everyone should read Fabre, just as once in a lifetime you should look into a microscope and look at the stars through a telescope” (V. Peskov).

FABRE, JEAN HENRI (Fabre, Jean Henri) (1823–1915), French entomologist and writer. Born December 22, 1823 in Saint-Leon. After graduating from the pedagogical school (1842), he worked as a school teacher. From 1849 he taught at the Lyceum of Ajaccio (Corsica). In 1852 he became a teacher of physics and chemistry at the Avignon Lyceum. In 1871 he was removed from teaching and settled in a small house on the outskirts of Orange. When Fabre was already 55 years old, he finally purchased a plot of land in the small village of Sérignan-du-Comt in Provence, about 80 km from the coast. Fabre turned this land into a real field laboratory for studying the life of insects.

In 1878, the scientist began publishing the results of studies of mason bees, burrowing wasps, pine silkworm caterpillars, mantises, Psyche butterflies and many other insects. In the same year, the first volume of Entomological Memoirs (Souvenirs Entomologiques) was published. Almost thirty years passed before the last, 10th volume of this work was published. Some of his research, for example on scarab beetles, lasted about 40 years. At first, Fabre’s books did not attract wide attention from the public, although V. Hugo called him “the Homer of the insects,” and Charles Darwin spoke of him as “an inimitable observer.” Only with the release of the last volume of Entomological Memoirs did Fabre gain recognition in the scientific world. Entomological memoirs were awarded a special prize from the Institute of France.

The fundamental novelty of Fabre's contribution to entomology was that living beings became the objects of research, whereas previously the main source of knowledge in this science had been dead specimens pinned on pins. The “wasteland” where Fabre made his discoveries, which he called “Paradise,” gained worldwide fame and is now under the protection of the Natural History Museum.

Jean Henri Fabre(French Jean-Henri Fabre; December 22, 1823, Saint-Leon, France - October 11, 1915, Sérignan-du-Comte, France) - French entomologist and writer, member of many scientific societies, Officer of the Legion of Honor (1910).

short biography

• 1842 - graduated from a pedagogical school, worked as a school teacher.
• 1849 - began teaching at the Lyceum of Ajaccio (Corsica). After moving to Paris, he received his doctorate.
• 1852 - teacher of physics and chemistry at the Avignon Lyceum.
• 1855 - the first scientific article was published.
• 1866-1873 - The municipality appoints Fabre as curator of the Museum of Natural History of Avignon (renamed from the museum fr:Esprit Requien since 1851), then located in an inactive military church. Here in 1867 he was unexpectedly visited by the Minister of Education Victor Duruis (1811-1894). This son of a worker, who became a student of education and an inspector of education, and then an academician, became friends with Fabre and cherished the dream of preparing educational programs for the lower strata of society. Having become Minister of Public Education in 1865, Duruy two years later summoned Fabre to Paris to present him with the Legion of Honor and introduce the entomologist to Emperor Napoleon III.
• 1871 - removal from teaching (for his ideas on reforming teaching) and settlement in a small house on the outskirts of Orange.

At the age of 55, Fabre bought a plot of land in the village of Serignan-du-Comt in Provence, 80 km from the coast. Gradually, Fabre turned this land into a real laboratory for field study of insect life and called it “Wasteland.”

On October 14, 1913, French President Raymond Poincaré came to Serignan-du-Comte (Provence) to personally meet with J. Fabre and express recognition to him on behalf of the nation.

Scientific activity

Fabre devoted thirty years of his life in the south of France to the study of insects. The scientist studied the life of mason bees, burrowing wasps, praying mantises, Psyche butterflies, pine silkworm caterpillars and many other insects. The first publications appeared in 1878. Then the first volume of Entomological Memoirs (fr: Souvenirs Entomologiques) was published. And almost thirty years passed before the last, 10th volume of this work was published (when the scientist was already 86 years old). Some of his research lasted decades: for example, he studied the behavior of scarab beetles for almost 40 years. Although Fabre wrote about beetles, butterfly caterpillars, crickets, and bees, his greatest sympathies lay with wasps. Unraveling their morals became Fabre’s life’s work: 4 volumes of “Memoirs” were written specifically about wasps.

He also studied blister beetles and established the existence of hypermetamorphosis in these insects.

He developed new ideas about the complex behavior of insects, showing that it is a strictly sequential sequence of standard actions, and proved the innateness of insect behavior. One of the founders of insect ethology.

Initially, Fabre's works did not attract much public attention. However, some celebrities had great respect for his work. Victor Hugo called him “the Homer of the insects,” and Charles Darwin spoke of this entomologist as “an inimitable observer.” It should be noted that Fabre never shared Darwin's evolutionary views. Being an opponent of the theory of evolution, he considered biological species with their inherent instincts and habits unchanged from the moment of creation.

In 1865, on the recommendation of the chemist and academician Jean Baptiste Dumas, the famous microbiologist Louis Pasteur visited Fabre. He was interested in the problem of saving the silkworm, whose culture had suffered from a major epizootic. A consultation with an entomologist was beneficial and Pasteur would later be able to stop the terrible epizootic and save French sericulture.

“The great scientist who thinks as a philosopher, sees as an artist and speaks as a poet.”

“The great scientist who thinks as a philosopher, sees as an artist and speaks as a poet.”

After the release of the last volume of Entomological Memoirs, Fabre received recognition from the scientific world and received a special prize from the Institute of France for his fundamental work. Fabre’s field research was completely new for the entomology of those years, during which it was living, not dead, creatures from collections that were studied; he described the behavior and lifestyle of insects. Therefore, Fabre is considered one of the founders of ethology.

The “wasteland” where Fabre conducted his research and which he called “Paradise” became famous throughout the world and is currently under the protection of the Natural History Museum.
