Abstract

The Rise and Fall of German Biology. Considerations upon the Character, Intellectual, and Social Impact of Continental Autonomistic Biology in the Modern Era

In this work, the author uses an essayistic approach to analyse the impact of biology within the German cultural sphere in approximately 1780–1945. The main focus is on that part of biology’s roots and specific features which through the prism of subsequent scientific and cultural development appear to constitute a ‘side line’, although they contain many inspiring ideas and thoughts.
