Life and death by A. Dastre
"Life and Death" by A. Dastre is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book explores the philosophical and scientific understanding of life and death through various theories and concepts in physiology, emphasizing the aim to communicate these complex ideas to a broader audience. At the start of the text, Dastre sets the stage for a philosophical inquiry into the nature of life, death, and the principles that govern
living organisms. He contrasts the historical approaches of ancient thinkers with contemporary scientific ideas, noting the evolution of theories from animism and vitalism to more mechanistic perspectives. He introduces the reader to a discussion on the general truths of biology, suggesting that understanding life is not just a matter of laboratory techniques, but also involves understanding the philosophical implications of the science that investigates living beings. The beginning serves to establish a foundation for the exploration of life through the lens of scientific philosophy, paving the way for the subsequent chapters that delve deeper into specific biological theories and concepts.
