The contributions in this volume portray the history of vitalism from the end of the Enlightenment to the modern day, suggesting some reassessment of what it means both historically and conceptually. As such it includes a wide range of material, employing both historical and philosophical methodologies, and it is divided fairly evenly between 19th and 20th century historical treatments and more contemporary analysis. This volume presents a significant contribution to the current literature in the history and philosophy of science and the history of medicine.History, Philosophy and Theory of the Life Sciences,2211-1956VitalismLife sciencesVitalism.Life sciences.570.1Normandin Sebastien1970-1752231Wolfe Charles T1059952MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910438332503321Vitalism and the scientific image in post-enlightenment life science, 1800-20104187494UNINA
