This paper examines the philosophical foundations of Goethe’s morphological studies, in particular his concept of the ‘archetypal plant', which can be described as the dynamic principle of a living surface that governs plant formation through alternating processes of expansion and contraction. The Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner claimed that Go...
Over the past 25 years, the recognition that genetics and Darwinism are not sufficient to fully explain organisms — since only living beings can contain genes and undergo evolution — has led to a renewed philosophical engagement with the question of life. The organism has drawn attention both as an ontological reality and as an epistemological cate...
This article outlines an epistemological perspective to understand the organism as a temporally changing whole.
This article proposes an empirical approach to understanding the life of an organism that overcomes reductionist and dualist conceptions. The approach is based on Immanuel Kant's analysis of the cognitive conditions required for the recognition of an organism: the concept of teleology and the assumption of a formative power of self-generation. It i...
This book shows that in the naturalistic and Darwinian explanation of life and its evolution, a decisive factor is overlooked, namely the human, knowing mind. The questions about life and its evolution can be answered if consciousness is taken into account not as a spectator, but as an integral part of reality. In the first-person-perception of cog...
This article outlines an epistemological perspective to understand the organism as a temporally changing whole. To analyze the mental faculties involved, the organism’s development and persisting existence is differentiated into four interdependent aspects: descent, future existence, persistent species, and environmentally adapted physical appearan...

Die Fragen nach dem Lebendigen und nach Richtung und Sinn der Evolution können beantwortet werden, wenn das erkennende Bewusstsein nicht als Zuschauer, sond...
