About This Book

An unfinished philosophical and physiological essay that treats life as an active process rather than a mere product of matter, distinguishing bodily operations from the realm of soul and reason. It challenges corpuscular, atomistic accounts and narrow definitions that reduce life to nutrition or to resistance against death, traces a graded continuity from chemical and physical agencies to organized organisms, and warns against literal personification of nature. The work recommends revising terminology and method when extending biological concepts beyond traditionally recognized living beings.
