History and Philosophy of Biology

History and Philosophy of Biology and the ideas that (re)invented us is more than an essay — it’s a journey through the radical transformations of scientific thought. Structured in five acts and twenty movements, prof. Heemann guides readers across a landscape where biology, philosophy, and history converge to reshape our understanding of life.

From Galen to Darwin, from genetic codes to fractals, this book reveals how science doesn’t merely describe the world — it reinvents it. Each intellectual breakthrough marks a shift in how we think, perceive, and define ourselves. With accessible language and conceptual depth, Heemann invites readers to explore the forces that shaped modern biology and the philosophical tensions that still pulse beneath its surface.

Editorial features punctuate the narrative like fertile clearings — spaces for critical reflection, unexpected connections, historical immersion, and technical precision. This is a book for the curious, the skeptical, and the thoughtful — for those who seek not only to know, but to understand how we came to know.
