Zammito's The Gestation of German Biology is magnificent for bolstering a case that he's been making for decades: that German biology quickened as a discipline by rejecting Kant and embracing #Schelling's #Naturphilosophie. #RemappingBiology wouldn't be the same without it! #HPBio
#Gould's The Structure of Evolutionary Theory has had a mixed reception, but from its rearticulation of the "hardening" of the Synthesis to its surprisingly nuanced takes on biology of Goethe & his contemporaries, #RemappingBiology wouldn't have been the same without it! #HPBio
In Sweet Science Goldstein reads romanticism at the turn of the 19th century through the lens of Lucretius's De Rerum Natura, which had captured the imaginations of #Herder, #Goethe, and #Schelling. Provocative and fresh! #RemappingBiology wouldn't be the same without it! #HPBio
In German Romanticism and Science, Holland takes the "two cultures" narrative head-on, demonstrating through brilliant analyses of Ritter, Novalis, & #Goethe's works how #romanticism is more a literary movement or genre. #RemappingBiology wouldn't have been the same without it! #HPBio
Amrine, Zucker, and Wheeler's edited volume Goethe and the Sciences: A Reappraisal (1987) set the stage for a rehabilitation of #Goethe & the German romantics as sophisticated naturalists in English-language scholarship. #RemappingBiology wouldn't have been the same without it! #HPBio
Astrida Tantillo's The Will to Create is a wonderful orientation to Goethe's approach to the natural world, beautifully reconstructing #Goethe's #philosophyofnature through a tour of his scientific corpus. #RemappingBiology wouldn't have been the same without it! #HPBio
This English edition of Goethe's Scientific Studies, edited and translated by Douglas Miller, was my entryway into #Goethe's approach to nature and life in particular. HIGHLY recommended! #RemappingBiology wouldn't be the same without it! #HPBio
In The #Romantic Conception of Life, Robert Richards demonstrates how Goethe & the Early Romantics' aesthetic and moral pursuits were complements to and catalysts for their philosophical and experimental investigations of life. #RemappingBiology wouldn't be the same without it! #HPBio

Committing to Winther's sophisticated, rich meditation on cartography and representation pays philosophical and methodological dividends. Winther made me a better philosopher of science...and #RemappingBiology wouldn't be the same without it! #HPBio
Experimenting at the Boundaries of Life is a tour de force. Joan Steigerwald expertly guides readers through the thrilling flux of early 19th c. experimental life sciences and the surprising features of life they uncovered. #RemappingBiology wouldn't be the same without it! #HPBio
I adore Denis Walsh's #philosophy of #biology. His book Organisms, Agency, and Evolution articulates an account of Darwinian #evolution with organisms and their development at its core. #RemappingBiology wouldn't be the same without it! #HPBio
#RemappingBiology is out on Monday! ππΊοΈππ¦
