In this volume Smith examines the early modern science of
generation, which included the study of animal conception,
heredity, and fetal development. Analyzing how it influenced the
contemporary treatment of traditional philosophical questions, it
also demonstrates how philosophical pre-suppositions about
mechanism, substance, and cause informed the interpretations
offered by those conducting empirical research on animal
reproduction. Composed of cutting-edge essays written by an
international team of leading scholars, the book offers a fresh
perspective on some of the basic problems in early modern
philosophy. It also considers how these basic problems manifested
themselves within an area of scientific inquiry that has not
previously received much consideration by historians of philosophy.
