Vitalism is understood as impacting the history of the life
sciences, medicine and philosophy, representing an epistemological
challenge to the dominance of mechanism over the last 200 years,
and partly revived with organicism in early theoretical biology.
The contributions in this volume portray the history of vitalism
from the end of the Enlightenment to the modern day, suggesting
some reassessment of what it means both historically and
conceptually. As such it includes a wide range of material,
employing both historical and philosophical methodologies, and it
is divided fairly evenly between 19th and 20th century historical
treatments and more contemporary analysis. This volume presents a
significant contribution to the current literature in the history
and philosophy of science and the history of medicine.
