Organism

Hegel (Philosophy of Nature)

The center to which the parts relate lies within the same body as the parts. Neuser's formula: the organs have their center in the shared organism and are only what they are within it.

Not meant

a thing with parts. The organism is the interplay of its organs — and, with Jonas: it remains the same by not remaining materially the same.

Gegen den vitalismus-verdacht

Being alive is something inward only insofar as it is the instantiation of a life-process immanent to the species (Stekeler). Dead natural things do not go "into themselves" to find a soul there — and neither do living ones.
