Chapter ix organisms consisting of one cell A. adult form and structure Remarks on the Conception of' the Cell as an Elementary Organism we saw early in the chapter on The Organism and its Cells that the cell may be advantageously looked upon as an "elementary organism." The warrantableness of thus regarding it as set forth by Carl Briicke, who first clearly reached the perception, should be recalled. This conception is warranted, Briicke said, by the fact that the cell possesses an organization of another sort than that pertaining to its molecular structure. While we may not subscribe to the implication of his doctrine that the cell has an organization wholly independent of its molecular structure, yet we must endorse his conception that it has a structure genuinely unique as contrasted with that of any non-living body; and must reckon the perception of this fact as a forward step of first rate importance in biology. While we are now to devote a chapter to an inquiry into that peculiar structure of the cell which justifies us in viewing it as an elementary organism, we should recognize that this discussion falls properly under the general head of cell-theory taken in the comprehensive sense indicated in chapter six. As there defined the cell-theory concerns itself with the structure of the cell as well as with the participation of cells in the make-up of multicellular organisms. It is only for the didactic purpose of making this part of the theory stand out in the discussion with a prominence proportionate to its importance that we give it independent titular recognition. So our present discussion will intersect at various points the discussion of the Cell-Theory specifically. The fi

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Unity of the Organism, Vol. 1: Or the Organismal Conception of Life The right of any book to live must be determined finally by what is on its pages. Nevertheless, when the author of a scientific book undertakes such a task as I have undertaken in this one, his natural and acquired fitness for carrying out his project ought to count in some measure toward the determination. An attempt to speak with some degree of originality and authority on subjects so remote from one another as are the chemistry of organisms, heredity, human consciousness, and the nature of knowledge, would be somewhat audacious even if made by an author of secure reputation as an investigator in one or more of these fields. When, however, the attempt is that of a complete stranger to all the fields, as thus judged, the attempt is no longer entitled to be called "somewhat audacious." It is audacious out and out, and if defensible at all is defensible in spite of its audacity. But the very nature of the task I have attempted seems to require me to contend that while it is audacious it is yet not impossible, and to point out something of my own qualifications for performing it. Such professional fitness as I have rests primarily on my being a general zoologist in the proper sense; that is, a student of the phenomena of the animal world without exclusion of any aspect of that world from professional interest and some measure of professional attention. These facts of my vocation, and of my conception of the nature of that vocation are crucial for the quality not only of this book but all my general writings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Unity of the Organism, Vol. 1: Or the Organismal Conception of Life Probably no one zoological item has influenced me more than the perception that the evolutionary interpretation of man does not mean that man's derivation from the lower animals made him something that is now not animal. It means that man is just as much an animal to-day as were his prehuman ancestors. The truth is exactly stated by saying that when the transformation took place by which man came into existence that transformation was from a lower to a higher stage of animal life. The actual problem, consequently, of man's nature is not as to what man is in opposition to animals, but as to the kind, or species of ani mal he is.

Download or read book From Cells to Organisms written by Sherrie L Lyons and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2020-07-09 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than a history, From Cells to Organisms delves into the nature of scientific practice, showing that results are interpreted not only through the lens of a microscope, but also through the lens of particular ideas and prior philosophical convictions. Before the twentieth century, heredity and development were considered complementary aspects of the fundamental problem of generation, but later they became distinct disciplines with the rise of genetics. Focusing on how cell theory shaped investigations of development, this book explores evolution, vitalism, the role of the nucleus, and the concept of biological individuality. Building upon the work of Thomas Huxley, an important early critic of cell theory, and more recent research from biologists such as Daniel Mazia, From Cells to Organisms covers ongoing debates around cell theory and uses case studies to examine the nature of scientific practice, the role of prestige, and the dynamics of theory change.
Download or read book Aesthetics Volume 1 written by G. W. F. Hegel and published by Clarendon Press. This book was released on 1998-10-08 with total page 634 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his Aesthetics Hegel gives full expression to his seminal theory of art. He surveys the history of art from ancient India, Egypt, and Greece through to the Romantic movement of his own time, criticizes major works, and probes their meaning and significance; his rich array of examples gives broad scope for his judgement and makes vivid his exposition of his theory. The substantial Introduction is Hegel's best exposition of his general philosophy of art, and provides the ideal way into his Aesthetics. In Part I he considers the general nature of art: he distinguishes art, as a spiritual experience, from religion and philosophy; he discusses the beauty of art and differentiates it from the beauty of nature; and he examines artistic genius and originality. Part II provides a sort of history of art, divded into three periods called Symbolic (India, Persia, Egypt), Classical (Greece), and Romantic (medieval and post-medieval up to the end of the eighteenth century). Part III deals individually with architecture, scuplture, painting, music, and literature.

Download or read book Learning from Six Philosophers Volume 1 written by Jonathan Bennett and published by Clarendon Press. This book was released on 2001-02-22 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jonathan Bennett engages with the thought of six great thinkers of the early modern period: Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Locke, Berkeley, Hume. While not neglecting the historical setting of each, his chief focus is on the words they wrote. What problem is being tackled? How exactly is the solution meant to work? Does it succeed? If not, why not? What can we learn from its success or its failure? These questions reflect Bennett's dedication to engaging with philosophy as philosophy, not as museum exhibit, and they require a close and demanding attention to textual details; these being two features that characterize all Bennett's work on early modern philosophy. For newcomers to the early modern scene, this clearly written work is an excellent introduction to it. Those already in the know can learn how to argue with the great philosophers of the past, treating them as colleagues, antagonists, students, teachers. Volume 1: In this volume Jonathan Bennett examines the views of Descartes, Spinoza, and Leibniz on matter and space, the foundations of physics, atomism and alternatives to it, causation, knowledge of necessary truths, how mind relates to body, the nature and significance of human desires, our perception of the material world, and other topics. While exhibiting and celebrating the wonderful breadth, depth, and boldness of the thinking of these philosophers, Bennett also tracks them into the details, where the life is, evaluating their doctrines and arguments on their own merits and in relation to current philosophical problems and interests.
