Author Description

The Science and Philosophy of the Organism Volume 2 is a book written by Hans Driesch, and it is based on the Gifford Lectures that he delivered in 1908. The book focuses on the concept of vitalism, which is the idea that living organisms possess a unique life force that cannot be explained by physical and chemical processes alone. Driesch argues that vitalism is a valid scientific and philosophical perspective, and he provides evidence from his own experiments to support this claim. In addition to discussing vitalism, the book also explores other topics such as teleology, causation, and the relationship between mind and matter. Overall, The Science and Philosophy of the Organism Volume 2 is a thought-provoking work that challenges conventional views on the nature of life and the universe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
