The Nature and Origin of Life (Classic Reprint): In the Light of New Knowledge: In the Light of New Knowledge (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
A sweeping look at how life began and how it became the complex tapestry we see today, grounded in new knowledge and classic ideas.
In this edition, the book examines the appearance of life on Earth and the long arc of evolution. It weaves together perspectives from Darwin and Lamarck, showing how their ideas can be reconciled in a modern view of heredity, adaptation, and the roles of environment and reproduction. The discussion moves from ancient questions about protoplasm to the practical and philosophical implications of natural selection.
- Explore how life might have arisen and why scientists now link its history to the evolution of the world itself.
- See how natural selection can be understood as a process that shapes living beings through their environments.
- Learn how the book frames the debate between competing theories and what it means for our view of species and heredity.
- Discover conceptual tools that connect embryo development, lineage, and the inheritance of acquired traits.
Ideal for readers curious about the origins of life, evolutionary theory, and the dialogue between science and philosophy.

Excerpt from The Nature and Origin of Life: In the Light of New Knowledge
Living organism is a mass of matter acting wholly in the causal sequence, they must be reckoned with before they can be pronounced of no avail in the body's conduct. If life is supposed to be a transcendental entity entering into or transacting the chemical processes, causing them in the sense of using energy, then there is no evidence that such an entity exists. But if on the contrary life is supposed to be a transcendental entity that is associated with the body, and in some measure interacts with it and guides it without interference (and that is by no means inconceivable since recent physics has plunged the ultimate nature of matter.

Excerpt from The Nature and Origin of Life: In the Light of New Knowledge
"The notion that all the kinds of animals and plants may have come into existence by the growth and modification of primordial germs is as old as speculative thought; but the modern scientific form of the doctrine can be traced historically to the influence of several converging lines of philosophical speculation and of physical observation, none of which go farther back than the seventeenth century. These are: -
"1.The enunciation by Descartes of the conception that the physical universe, whether living or not living, is a mechanism, and that, as such, it is explicable on physical principles..."
