520    "Though it did not yet exist as a discrete field of 
       scientific inquiry, biology was at the heart of many of 
       the most important debates in seventeenth-century 
       philosophy. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the work
       of G.W. Leibniz. In Divine Machines, Justin Smith offers 
       the first in-depth examination of Leibniz's deep and 
       complex engagement with the empirical life sciences of his
       day, in areas as diverse as medicine, physiology, taxonomy,
       generation theory, and paleontology. He shows how these 
       wide-ranging pursuits were not only central to Leibniz's 
       philosophical interests, but often provided the insights 
       that led to some of his best-known philosophical 
       doctrines. Presenting the clearest picture yet of the 
       scope of Leibniz's theoretical interest in the life 
       sciences, Divine Machines takes seriously the 
       philosopher's own repeated claims that the world must be 
       understood in fundamentally biological terms. Here Smith 
       reveals a thinker who was immersed in the sciences of life,
       and looked to the living world for answers to vexing 
       metaphysical problems. He casts Leibniz's philosophy in an
       entirely new light, demonstrating how it radically 
       departed from the prevailing models of mechanical 
       philosophy and had an enduring influence on the history 
       and development of the life sciences. Along the way, Smith
       provides a fascinating glimpse into early modern debates 
       about the nature and origins of organic life, and into how
       philosophers such as Leibniz engaged with the scientific 
       dilemmas of their era"--|cProvided by publisher. 
520    "His book provides a comprehensive survey of G.W. 
       Leibniz's deep and complex engagement with the sciences of
       life, in areas as diverse as medicine, physiology, 
       taxonomy, generation theory, and paleontology. It is shown
       that these sundry interests were not only relevant to his 
       core philosophical interests, but indeed often provided 
       the insights that in part led to some of his most familiar
       philosophical doctrines, including the theory of corporeal
       substance and the theory of organic preformation"--
