Erik L. Peterson is assistant professor of history at the University of Alabama.
“The Life Organic is a monumental tour through the history of the
organic philosophy—the belief that phenomena of life exhibit
higher-order modes of organization rather than simply being the sum
of their parts. An outstanding book that will easily become the
classic source on organicism and epigenesis.” —Marsha Richmond,
Wayne State University
“This book has undertaken an ambitious and farreaching survey of
debates among vitalists, mechanists, and organicists from the
nineteenth through the twentieth century—a formidable task, but one
that will be of interest to many scholars in the history and
philosophy of biology, and within biology itself""—Michael R.
Dietrich, Dartmouth College
