Sinossi
Excerpt from The Nature of Man, Studies in Optimistic Philosophy
From Observations made originally on water-?eas, he was led to discover the functions of the white corpuscles of human blood. He showed by what mechanism these made perpetual war against the intruding microbes of disease, and he laid the foundations Of knowledge as to the agencies that weaken and the modes of strengthening these guardians of our health. In a series of investigations into the phenomena of in?ammation in men and lower animals, he carried his Observations into new fields, and explained the relations of the white corpuscles to the juices that attract and repel them It was he, for instance, who discovered that these corpuscles, under certain circumstances, migrate into the hairs and absorb and remove the pigment, SO producing the blanching of old age. Although popularly the most ih teresting this was far from being the most important Of the changes of senile decay that he found to,be due to the activity of the wandering cells Of the body. And, as will be seen in the present volume, the actions and interactions Of the bacteria harboured in the body, the white corpuscles that are a natural part Of the body, and the various juices or serums produced naturally or introduced by accident or design, are concerned in life itself and the decay of life.

Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex and often paradoxical nature of humanity. Taking inspiration from ancient Greek philosophers who worshipped human nature as a source of moral guidance, the author delves into the harmonious and disharmonious aspects of our existence, drawing on the natural world for illuminating examples. The book examines the intricate relationships between insects and orchids, highlighting how nature's design often reflects a remarkable balance between adaptation and dysfunction. By comparing and contrasting the perspectives of ancient philosophers and religious doctrines, the author sheds light on the enduring struggle to reconcile the imperfections of our physical form with the pursuit of spiritual ideals. The book ultimately proposes that a deeper understanding of our physical nature, rather than solely relying on faith, holds the key to achieving a more harmonious existence.
