description

The concept of dégénération in Buffon plays a key role in allowing to articulate a reflection on the relationship between species and individual, in theorizing the unit of the type as hierarchical concept of higher order capable of giving an account of the reality of life in its diversification, and especially in allowing the arising of a consideration of the relationship between matter and living form that will profoundly affect the origins of modern biology as Goethe’s morphological thinking.
