Article Synopsis
- Charles Darwin navigated a tension between two philosophical viewpoints: the mechanistic view that excludes agency from nature and the organicist perspective that connects agency to life itself.
- His internal conflict stemmed from the different intellectual legacies he inherited, making him grapple with the implications of both views.
- This struggle resulted in a dynamic and productive approach to his work, allowing Darwin to explore the complexities of nature and life more deeply.
