Concepts with Teeth and Claws. On Species, Essences and Purposes in Hegel’s Organic Physics
In Luca Corti & Johannes-Georg Schuelein (eds.), Life, Organisms, and Human Nature: New Perspectives on Classical German Philosophy. Springer Verlag. pp. 79-96 (2023)
Abstract
In this chapter I argue that Hegel is not an ‘essentialist’ when it comes to living nature. Hegel does not have a conception of species that fits essentialism, in the sense that this term has for historians of systematics and philosophers of biology: for him, there are no species that constitute the essence of living beings and the purpose of living beings is not to perpetuate the species which they are instantiations of.Author's Profile
