Sinossi
Excerpt from The Problem of Individuality: A Course of Four Lectures Delivered Before the University of London in October 1913
This little volume contains, in an almost unaltered form, the four lectures which I had the honour to deliver before the University of London in October 1913. In a rather condensed manner the same subject was treated in a single lecture which I after wards gave at the invitation of the University of Cambridge. The interest taken in the subject was, I was glad to Observe, very great in both places. For this reason, and also because I have the general impression that great interest in questions of the Philosophy of Nature prevails all over Great Britain -more, perhaps, than in other countries, - I agreed to the publication of my manuscript.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, encompassing a series of lectures delivered by the author, delves into the complexities of defining individuality and seeking a deeper understanding of life processes. The author establishes a distinction between vitalism and mechanism, arguing against the prevailing machine-like theories of life. Through the exploration of embryological, restitutive, and adaptive processes in organisms, the author presents compelling evidence for the existence of a non-mechanical, vitalistic force. This force, termed "entelechy," is posited as responsible for the organization and arrangement of living systems. The book's insights challenge the traditional scientific paradigm and offer a profound perspective on the nature of life, emphasizing the intrinsic purposefulness and autonomy of living organisms. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Codice articolo 9781330421154_0
