Resumen
HEREDIA, Juan Manuel. El problema formas/vida y el estructuralismo vitalista de Jakob von Uexküll. Tópicos [online]. 2021, n.41, pp.92-116. ISSN 1666-485X.
This paper analyzes the historical-conceptual sense that Jacob von Uexküll’s theory assumes in contrast with the forms/life problem that unfolds in the continental philosophy of the beginning of the 20th century. For this purpose, in first place, it reconstructs the epistemological configuration that presents the biological thought between 1890-1920 and introduces the neovitalist theory of Hans Driesch. Secondly, it analyses the emergence of the vitalist metaphysics of Henri Bergson and Georg Simmel and poses the problem of the contradiction between forms and life. Finally, on the basis of the previous developments, it defends the thesis according to which Uexküll’s work mobilizes a vitalist structuralism for which “Life equal to Form”.
