The Science And Philosophy Of The Organism (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781428640924)

""The Science and Philosophy of the Organism"" is a philosophical and scientific work written by German biologist and philosopher Hans Driesch. The book explores the concept of vitalism, which is the idea that living organisms possess a unique life force or energy that cannot be explained solely by physical and chemical processes. Driesch argues that the study of living organisms requires a different approach than that of inanimate matter, and that the organism must be viewed as a whole rather than as a collection of parts. He also discusses the relationship between science and philosophy and the importance of considering both when studying the natural world. The book is considered a seminal work in the field of vitalism and has influenced the development of holistic and alternative medicine.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
