Summary
Details

Vie et matière, Ou, Matérialisme et spiritualisme en présence de la cristallogénie, by Théophile Ortolan, explores the intersection of materialism and spiritualism through the lens of crystallography. Published in 1900, this work delves into the philosophical implications of the study of crystals, examining how the seemingly rigid structures of matter relate to broader questions of life and existence. Ortolan navigates the scientific understanding of his time, juxtaposing it with metaphysical concepts to provide a unique perspective on the nature of reality. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the scientific and philosophical debates of the late 19th century, appealing to readers interested in the history of science, metaphysics, and the ongoing dialogue between science and spirituality.
