Summary | "De Harmonie van het Dierlijke Leven: De Openbaring van Wetten" by F. C. Donders is a scientific publication written in the mid-19th century. This work explores the relationship between the laws governing animal life and the perceived harmony within nature, particularly critiquing teleological interpretations that attribute purpose to natural phenomena. The author argues for a more scientific approach, emphasizing the importance of understanding the underlying causes of existence rather than merely identifying their perceived goals. The opening of the work introduces Donders' inaugural address at Utrecht University, where he critically engages with the prevailing teleological perspective in the natural sciences. He emphasizes the need to explore the laws that underlie the harmony observed in the animal kingdom, arguing that this harmony arises from the interaction of animals with their environments and the influence of various factors over time. Donders aims to establish a scientific foundation for understanding the development and maintenance of this harmony, asserting that it is shaped by the principles of habit, exercise, and heredity, rather than established through a purposeful creation or design.
