The Problem Of Individuality: A Course Of Four Lectures Delivered Before The University Of London In October, 1913

By Hans Driesch

Book Overview

""The Problem of Individuality"" is a collection of four lectures delivered by the renowned German biologist, philosopher and zoologist, Hans Driesch, before the University of London in October 1913. The book explores the complex and controversial topic of individuality in biology and philosophy. Driesch argues that the traditional reductionist approach of science, which seeks to explain complex phenomena by breaking them down into smaller parts, is inadequate for understanding the nature of individuality. Instead, he proposes a holistic approach that takes into account the unique properties of each organism and the emergent properties that arise from the interaction of its parts. Driesch's ideas on individuality have had a significant impact on the fields of biology, philosophy and psychology, and this book remains a seminal work in the study of the nature of life and consciousness.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
