Historian Peter Reill has been one of those at the forefront of this development, demonstrating the need for a broader and more varied understanding of eighteenth-century conceptions of nature. Life Forms in the Thinking of the Long Eighteenth Century is a unique reappraisal of Enlightenment thought on nature, biology, and the organic world that responds to Reill's work. The ten essays included in the collection analyse the place of historicism, vitalism, and esotericism in the eighteenth century--three strands of thought rarely connected, but all of which are central to Reill's innovative work. Working across national and regional boundaries, they engage not only French and English but also Italian, Swiss, and German writers."--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aUCLA Clark Memorial Library series ;$v24. 606 $aVitalism 606 $aScience$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aEnlightenment 608 $aLibros electronicos. 615 0$aVitalism. 615 0$aScience$xHistory 615 0$aEnlightenment. 676 $a909.7 702 $aBaker$b Keith$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt. 702 $aGibbs$b Jenna M.$f1961-$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt. 712 02$aUniversity of California, Los Angeles.$bCenter for 17th- & 18th- Century Studies. 712 02$aWilliam Andrews Clark Memorial Library. 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911009154203321 996 $aLife Forms in the Thinking of the Long Eighteenth Century$94396565 997 $aUNINA
