Instance Specification Theoretische Biologie (LvB)

"It was the right time in the 1920s but it still required a large amount of courage and even a lot more of creativity for writing the book “Theoretische Biologie”(theoretical biology) reflecting his “organismic biology” or “system theory of the organism”: a significant contribution towards the scientific development of biology, based on the need of discovering and understanding the laws that govern organismic organization. It was the very first step towards the General System Theory that Bertalanffy conceived as a culmination of his general systems insights into biological, behavioral, social and epistemological domains, while fighting specifically against the reductionist approaches and the mechanist interpretations that dehumanize human beings through robotomorphism, zoomorphism, scientism and other narrow-minded and shortsighted assumptions that have been used extensively by people without realizing that it is impossible and improper to simplify the complexity inherent to whatever human concern."
