Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Unity of the Organism, Vol. 1: Or the Organismal Conception of Life The right of any book to live must be determined finally by what is on its pages. Nevertheless, when the author of a scientific book undertakes such a task as I have undertaken in this one, his natural and acquired fitness for carrying out his project ought to count in some measure toward the determination. An attempt to speak with some degree of originality and authority on subjects so remote from one another as are the chemistry of organisms, heredity, human consciousness, and the nature of knowledge, would be somewhat audacious even if made by an author of secure reputation as an investigator in one or more of these fields. When, however, the attempt is that of a complete stranger to all the fields, as thus judged, the attempt is no longer entitled to be called "somewhat audacious." It is audacious out and out, and if defensible at all is defensible in spite of its audacity. But the very nature of the task I have attempted seems to require me to contend that while it is audacious it is yet not impossible, and to point out something of my own qualifications for performing it. Such professional fitness as I have rests primarily on my being a general zoologist in the proper sense; that is, a student of the phenomena of the animal world without exclusion of any aspect of that world from professional interest and some measure of professional attention. These facts of my vocation, and of my conception of the nature of that vocation are crucial for the quality not only of this book but all my general writings.
