Description
Joseph Needham's Order and Life explores the nature of biological order and its hierarchical continuity. Delivered as the Terry Lectures at Yale University in 1934-5, this book examines the history of scientific investigation into animal development through embryology, genetics, and the study of mitosis.
The lectures also touch on the relationship between science and theology, drawing implicit conclusions about the existence of God based on the interconnectedness of inorganic and organic sciences. This thought-provoking work will be of interest to anyone seeking to understand the intersection of science and philosophy.
