Structuralism and Form in Literature and Biology

Exploring the intersection of biology and philosophical structuralism, this book presents an analogy between the forms in organisms and structuralist concepts in philosophy and literary theory. It examines historical debates among prominent biological scientists while critiquing the reliance on genetic manipulation and bioengineering for solving agricultural and environmental issues. By referencing philosophers like Cassirer and Foucault, the author advocates for agroecology and molecular techniques, emphasizing a holistic approach to agricultural development.
