Remapping Biology with Goethe, Schelling, and Herder: Romanticizing Evolution - Paperback

by Gregory Rupik (Author)

This book recruits a Romantic philosophy of biology into contemporary debates to both integrate the theoretical implications of ecology, evolution, and development, and to contextualize the successes of the Modern Evolutionary Synthesis's gene's-eye-view of biology.
