Resumo: |
This paper addresses the ideas and work of William Bateson (1862-1926), as well as his defense of the development of a new science of living beings, Modern Biology. Through the study of Variations, Bateson proposed the formulation of new principles and methods that would be, according to Bateson, in accordance with the new modern knowledge that had been developing since at least the 17th century. By determining, through experimentation, the nature and manner in which expressions would be inserted over generations, Bateson believed it was possible to establish universal laws that would govern living beings and could explain the evolutionary mechanisms responsible for the change in the forms of living beings. To substantiate his ideas, Bateson made important defenses of works by other scholars who demonstrated the possibility of formulating the “new science of living beings”, inserted in Modern Science. Based on population studies and using mathematics, especially statistical treatment, as a method, Modern Biology would be responsible, as Bateson desired, for the abandonment of Natural History |
