Analysis of Theories on the Origin of the Concept Vitagenicity

Abstract

Historical and logical analysis of the methodology of vitalism does not give us a direct opportunity to identify the range of phenomena described by the term "vitagenicity". Despite the collapse of vitalism, one of the main questions remained unresolved. This is the question of the essence of the living and the closely related question of the genesis of life, posed and not fully resolved by the vitalists. Continuing the search for an answer to this question in connection with our study, let us turn to the analysis of the crisis of vitalism.
