Description “In this work I offer an interpretation of Kant's remarks about living phenomena in the Critique of teleological judgment, the second part of the Critique of judgement (1790) ... I argue that Kant is pursuing the question of whether biology is reducible to physics.” Cited in Diss. Abstr. Int. A 40 (1980): 6314. Univ. Microfilms order no. 80-13198.
