About this book
The Science and Philosophy of the Organism asks what an idealistic philosopher can mean by truth when conformity between knowledge and the object has no meaning. The discussion makes freedom from contradictions among a doctrine's parts one condition for calling a philosophical doctrine true. The account says no theory of matter can at present claim to be true, since every theory has contradictions and unanswered demands for information.
The tissue discussion reports that changing mechanical conditions has made it possible to change specific tissue structure, with particular importance in healing broken bones. The account says new joints that may arise through circumstances correspond mechanically to their newly created function. The reviewed facts seem to support morphological adaptation to functional changes arising from the nature of functioning itself.
