Philosophers have long struggled with the relationship between physics, physiology, and psychology, asking questions of organization, purpose, and agency. For two millennia, the vegetable soul, nutrition, and reproduction were commonly used to understand basic life and connect it to “higher” animal and vegetable life. Cartesian dualism and mechanism destroyed this bridge and left biology without an organizing principle until Darwin. Modern biology parallels Aristotelian vegetable life-concepts, but remains incompatible with the animal, rational, subjective, and spiritual life-concepts that developed through the centuries. Recent discoveries call for a second look at Aristotle’s ideas – though not their medieval descendants. Life remains an active, chemical process whose cause, identity, and purpose is self-perpetuation.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2018 | | 關(guān)鍵詞 | Aristotle; Taliaferro; biopower; phaulon skemma; Nealon; religion and society | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-96047-0 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-07139-4 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-96047-0 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer International P |
