Abstract

In this rather dense book, Lucas John Mix explores an important although overlooked concept in the history of the life sciences: the vegetable soul. This concept helped to differentiate between nonliving and living bodies from Aristotle to Darwin, as the title suggests. In other words, the vegetative soul accounts for life, a rather complex concept to define.
