Entanglements of instruments and media in investigating organic life
Introduction
Kant’s concept of natural purpose and the reflecting power of judgement
The dynamics of reason and its elusive object in Kant, Fichte and Schelling
Epistemologies of Rupture

The philosophical soundness of such a principle is questionable
