Download or read book Animal Vegetable Mineral written by Susannah Gibson and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2015-07-23 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the time of Aristotle, there had been a clear divide between the three kingdoms of animal, vegetable, and mineral. But by the eighteenth century, biological experiments, and the wide range of new creatures coming to Europe from across the world, challenged these neat divisions. Abraham Trembley found that freshwater polyps grew into complete individuals when cut. This shocking discovery raised deep questions: was it a plant or an animal? And this was not the only conundrum. What of coral? Was it a rock or a living form? Did plants have sexes, like animals? The boundaries appeared to blur. And what did all this say about the nature of life itself? Were animals and plants soul-less, mechanical forms, as Descartes suggested? The debates raging across science played into some of the biggest and most controversial issues of Enlightenment Europe. In this book, Susannah Gibson explains how a study of pond slime could cause people to question the existence of the soul; observation of eggs could make a man doubt that God had created the world; how the discovery of the Venus fly-trap was linked to the French Revolution; and how interpretations of fossils could change our understanding of the Earth's history. Using rigorous historical research, and a lively and readable style, this book vividly captures the big concerns of eighteenth-century science. And the debates concerning the divisions of life did not end there; they continue to have resonances in modern biology.

Download or read book Life Concepts from Aristotle to Darwin written by Lucas John Mix and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-08-29 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the history of life-concepts, with a focus on the vegetable souls of Aristotle, investigating how they were interpreted and eventually replaced by evolutionary biology. Philosophers have long struggled with the relationship between physics, physiology, and psychology, asking questions of organization, purpose, and agency. For two millennia, the vegetable soul, nutrition, and reproduction were commonly used to understand basic life and connect it to “higher” animal and vegetable life. Cartesian dualism and mechanism destroyed this bridge and left biology without an organizing principle until Darwin. Modern biology parallels Aristotelian vegetable life-concepts, but remains incompatible with the animal, rational, subjective, and spiritual life-concepts that developed through the centuries. Recent discoveries call for a second look at Aristotle’s ideas – though not their medieval descendants. Life remains an active, chemical process whose cause, identity, and purpose is self-perpetuation.

Download or read book The History of Creation Vol 1 2 written by Ernst Haeckel and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-12-13 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Ernst Haeckel's groundbreaking work, The History of Creation (Vol.1&2), he explores the complexities of evolution and the origins of life in a comprehensive and detailed manner. Haeckel's literary style combines scientific rigor with captivating storytelling, making this book accessible to both scholars and general readers. Written in the late 19th century, The History of Creation provides unique insights into the scientific debates and discoveries of the time, contributing to the development of evolutionary theory and shaping the way we understand biology today. Haeckel's meticulous research and clear explanations make this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of science and the study of life on Earth. Ernst Haeckel, a renowned biologist and philosopher, was a key figure in the promotion of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution in Germany. His extensive studies in zoology and comparative anatomy informed his writing, and The History of Creation reflects his passion for advancing scientific knowledge. Haeckel's work was influential in both scientific and philosophical circles, earning him recognition as a leading thinker of his time. I highly recommend The History of Creation by Ernst Haeckel to anyone interested in the origins of life, evolution, and the history of scientific thought. This book offers a rich and informative exploration of these topics, presented in a compelling and engaging narrative that will captivate readers from start to finish.
