Autobiography of Dr. Karl Ernst Von Baer
Karl Ernse von Baer is generally acknowledged to have been a thinker of paramount importance in the development of embryology, and he is well known for his broad views of nature.
Karl Ernst Von Baer (1792-1876) and Anton Dohrn (1840-1909)
In 1869 Anton Dohrn wrote to Karl Ernst von Baer to enlist his help in supporting the Stazione Zoologica that would soon be set up in Naples. This was the first of an exchange of 36 letters between Anton Dohrn and von Baer that constitutes the principal portion of this correspondence; there is almost a complete record of this correspondence, wherein one extant letter replies to another. Contents of this volume: Editorial Remarks and Acknowledgments; List of Abbreviations; Chronological List of the Letters; Letters 1-41; Appendix: Briefe 1-41; Bibliography; and Index of Names. Illustrations.

Reproduction, Race, and Gender in Philosophy and the Early Life Sciences
Investigates the impact of theories of reproduction and heredity on the emerging concepts of race and gender at the end of the eighteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth centuries. Focusing on the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, this volume highlights the scientific and philosophical inquiry into heredity and reproduction and the consequences of these developing ideas on understandings of race and gender. Neither the life sciences nor philosophy had fixed disciplinary boundaries at this point in history. Kant, Hegel, and Schelling weighed in on these questions alongside scientists such as Caspar Friedrich Wolff, Johann Friedrich Blumenbach, and Karl Ernst von Baer. The essays in this volume chart the development of modern gender polarizations and a naturalized, scientific understanding of gender and race that absorbed and legitimized cultural assumptions about difference and hierarchy.

Unlike most contemporary biologists or historians and philosophers of science, Richards holds that Darwin did concern himself with the idea of progress, or telos, as he constructed his theory. Richards maintains that Darwin drew on the traditional embryological meanings of the te...
