Beschreibung
What does it mean to know. life. Not to catalogue it, sequence it, or model it - but to understand how the very act of knowing transformed what life means to us, and what we mean to ourselves. History and Philosophy of Biology. traces the conceptual fault lines beneath five centuries of biological thought: from Galen's humoral cosmos to Darwin's radical contingency, from Mendel's silent peas to the fractal geometries of living systems. Each breakthrough examined here is not merely a discovery - it is a rupture in the framework through which a civilization understood its own existence. Structured in five acts and twenty movements, Felipe Heemann A. Ribeiro guides readers through the tensions that modern biology rarely acknowledges: between mechanism and emergence, between reductionism and complexity, between the physician's gaze and the organism's irreducible becoming. Science, here, is not backdrop - it is the protagonist of a philosophical drama still unresolved. For those who seek not only to know, but to interrogate the very ground on which knowing stands.
