Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on the topic of fundamental vital forces in both plants and animals. The author, a medical professional of the late 18th century, dives into the study of biology through the lens of physics and metaphysics of the time period and examines the significant differences between vital forces in plants and animals. This book attempts to bridge the gap between purely physical forces and the forces at play in living organisms, which the author believed were spiritual in nature. This book is a significant contribution to the history of biology, as it challenges the prevailing mechanistic view of life and lays the groundwork for later vitalist philosophies.
