註釋In 'The Organism as a Whole, from a Physicochemical Viewpoint', Jacques Loeb explores the concept of the organism as a complex machine governed by physicochemical laws. He argues that biological phenomena can be understood and explained through the principles of chemistry and physics, moving away from traditional vitalistic views. Loeb's writing is characterized by its scientific precision and logical reasoning, making it a foundational text in the field of mechanistic biology. This book was published in 1916, during a time when the scientific community was grappling with the implications of new discoveries and seeking to establish a more mechanistic understanding of life. Loeb's work was influential in shaping the direction of modern biology, emphasizing the importance of experimentation and empirical evidence in biological research. 'The Organism as a Whole' is recommended to readers interested in the history of biology, the philosophical foundations of science, and the development of modern biological thought.
