AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Geschichte der biologischen Theorien in der Neuzeit - Leiopzig/Berlin, Wilhelm Engelmann, 1913/1909 - 2e en 1e druk (2e deel) - (XIII) 351; (X) 604 pp - halflinnen band
Good. Minimal scuffs. Interior browned, scribble and a stamp on the front endpaper (back).
A standard work on the history of science that analyzes the transformative shift in biology from a purely descriptive natural history to an explanatory, experimental, and evolutionary science. The first part highlights the philosophical foundations of biology from the Renaissance to the early 19th century, while the second part critically investigates the rise and impact of the evolutionary and developmental theories of the 19th century. Rádl stands out in this work for his sharp critique of the then-dominant mechanistic worldview and his unique approach to explicitly weaving the evolution of the life sciences into the broader European history of culture and ideas.
