  • Summary

    Never-resolved problems of seventeenth-century metaphysics – the mind/body divide, nature conceived as alive or as a great, dead machine, and attendant questions about life and agency – have returned to haunt contemporary science. Siri Hustvedt demonstrates the ways in which these persistent philosophical dilemmas connect Cavendish’s monist, dynamic, organicist philosophy to much later thought in phenomenology, contemporary critiques in the philosophy of biology, and to Whitehead’s radical process philosophy.
