It is highly gratifying that at last for English readers the major contribution of Kielmeyer to the development of life science will be accessible and richly interpreted. Excellent translations and commentary by the premier scholars in the field mark this as a landmark contribution.

These probing interpretative essays place Kielmeyer’s work in relation to the broader scientific and philosophical concerns of his time and demonstrate Kielmeyer’s significance for the historicity of nature, epistemic questions facing natural inquiry, and understandings of the relationships of inorganic and organic nature. This timely edition marks a resurgence of interest in Kielmeyer and provides critical access to his work for Anglophone scholars.
