Lifes Form is a detailed analysis of the often overlooked work of the Jesuit commentators on Aristotle whose writings dominated Western European science and the academy until the mechanistic revolution. Des Chene considers the work of scholastic writers such as Suarez and the Coimbrans, who provided thorough and sometimes profound studies of Aristotles definitions of the soul and of life. Lifes Form is not restricted only to questions relevant to the human case, such as the immortality of the soul. Des Chene analyzes what might be called the protobiology of late Aristotelians: the theory of living things in general, of their powers, and of the relation between soul and body in all organisms. His mastery of doctrinal subtlety offers insight into conceptual issues of renewed relevance to the philosophy of biology. / CONTENTS Preface Introduction I Data for the Study of Souls 1 Facts and Texts 1.1 The Living World 1.2 Operations 1.3 Structures 1.4 Variety and Order 2 Propositions to Be Held by Faith II Defining the Soul 3 Defining Life 3.1 The Obscure Life of Plants 3.2 Immanent, Intrinsic 3.3 Is Life Univocal? 4 Soul as Form 4.1 Soul as Substance: Against Galen 4.2 Soul as Substantial Form 4.3 Which Body? 5 Soul as Principle Ill Powers and Parts 6 Living, Sensing, Thinking 6.1 Distinguishing Powers 6.2 Nutrition, Growth, and Generation 6.3 Touch 7 Is the Soul Distinct from Its Powers?

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Although the basis of modern biology is Cartesian, Descartes's theories of biology have been more often ridiculed than studied. Yet, Dennis Des Chene demonstrates, the themes, arguments, and vocabulary of his mechanistic biology pervade the writings of many seventeenth-century authors. In his illuminating account of Cartesian physiology in its historical context, Des Chene focuses on the philosopher's innovative reworking of that field, including the nature of life, the problem of generation, and the concepts of health and illness.
