Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the remarkable differences between the functions of the animal and organic lives. In separating sensations, perception, memory, imagination, and judgment from processes such as digestion, circulation, and secretion, the author argues that the first set is characterized by harmony and symmetry, while the latter are defined by discordance and irregularity. The author also considers the influence of habit on these functions, observing that while it dulls sensation, it sharpens judgment. This book provides valuable insights into the nature of life and the delicate balance between our inner and outer worlds. Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, first published in the early 19th century, goes on to explore a revolutionary concept of the time, the idea that living organisms, be they animals or plants, are composed of discrete, specialized 'systems' or tissues, each of which performs a specific function. Before the author's time it had been thought that plants and animals grew by a process of accretion. However, the author determined that there were a set of 'life properties', which could be traced as the source of all physical phenomena, with different life and physical properties responsible for different functions in the body. With these summations, the author then proceeds to examine these systems in health and in disease, working always from the revolutionary position that they may be affected independently of each other. This led to a fundamental rethinking of both physiology and medicine, and a new approach to the investigation of human biology.
