Excerpt from The Simplicity of Life
Before discussing the clear and lucid theory of Fletcher, who reduced all morbid actions to one, and the same law or general expression, it appears desirable that the terms which Fletcher employs when speaking of vital action should be explained and as vital action implies life this subject first demands attention. For pathology being merely a branch of physiology, any doctrine of the former must be consistent with the more general laws of vital action, or with physiology.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a treatise on the fundamental principles of life and biology, whose principles have changed little since they were first proposed by the author many years ago. Considering the nature of life, the author critiques opposing theories that life is either a physical process or sustained by a vital force. Instead, the author argues that life is essentially the sum of actions of organized beings resulting from the interaction between their unique properties and external forces, a theory developed through the author's extensive research in physiology. The author employs clear language, avoiding vague or uncertain terms, to explain his theory and explore the implications of his theory for our understanding of biology and the nature of life itself.
