"A well-documented and well-written history of the evolution of
biological principles and theories from a (subjective) philosophical point of
view (a mixture of Aristotelism, vitalism and romanticism) … Vol. I considers
the period from antiquity, through the Middle Ages, Renaissance, etc., down to
the beginnings of the 19th century. Vol. II largely deals with the 19th century
and is strongly anti-Darwinian in its method of treatment. The revised edition
of Vol. I together with Vol. II form much more a unity than the first ed. of
Vol. I together with Vol. II; the author’s ideas on the subject apparently have
evolved between 1905 and 1909" (Smit).* Smit p. 571. |
