Hans Driesch 
History and Theory of Vitalism (1914) [EPUB ebook] 

Vitalism has a long history in medical philosophies. Traditional healing practices posited that disease results from some imbalance in the vital energies that distinguish living from non-living matter. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Hesperides Press are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
