Carl Friedrich Kielmeyer (1765-1844) was the 'father of philosophy
of nature' owing to his profound influence on German Idealist and
Romantic Naturphilosophie. With the recent growth of interest in
Idealist and Romantic philosophy of nature in the UK and abroad,
the importance of Kielmeyer's work is being increasingly recognised
and special attention is being paid to his influence on biology's
development as a distinct discipline at the end of the eighteenth
century. In this exciting new book, Lydia Azadpour and Daniel
Whistler present the first ever English translations of key texts
by Kielmeyer, along with contextual and interpretative essays by
leading international scholars, who are experts on the philosophy
of nature and the formation of the life sciences in the late
eighteenth century. The topics they cover include: the laws of
nature, the concept of force, the meaning of 'organism', the logic
of recapitulation, Kielmeyer and ecology, sexual differentiation in
animal life and Kielmeyer's relationship to Kant, Schelling and
Hegel. In doing so, they provide a comprehensive English reference
to Kielmeyer's historical and contemporary significance.
