Abstract
Is there a connection between early nineteenth-century biology and Ger- man speculative idealism? Is it possible to identify the influence of developments in the life sciences at the turn of the nineteenth century on Hegelian thought? Drawing on Xavier François Bichat’s Recherches sur la vie et la mort, this chapter aims to show how the concept of death, as used by the French scientist to explain life, is employed by Hegel to explore the mystery of thought.File in questo prodotto:
