Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. "The Organization of Life" is a profound exploration of the fundamental principles governing living organisms and the complex relationship between biological processes and philosophical inquiry. Written through the collaborative efforts of Seba Eldridge and H.S. Jennings, this work delves into the central debates of the early 20th century regarding the nature of life itself. The text examines the tensions between mechanistic views of biology and the concepts of vitalism and organicism, seeking to understand how life is organized and maintained as a distinct phenomenon.Through a rigorous analysis of evolutionary theory, heredity, and cellular development, the authors address the profound question of whether physical and chemical laws are sufficient to explain the purposeful behavior and intricate structures found in the natural world. Jennings, a renowned geneticist, provides empirical scientific grounding, while Eldridge offers philosophical depth to the investigation of biological individuality and coordination.This work remains a significant contribution to the philosophy of biology, offering insights into the intellectual history of how we define and categorize the living state. It is an essential resource for students of science, philosophy, and history who are interested in the foundational arguments that shaped modern biological thought.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
