Translated by William Deane Butcher

'The Mechanism of Life' by Stéphane Leduc, first published in 1914, is a scientific exploration of the biological processes that define life. Leduc investigates concepts such as osmosis and diffusion, aiming to unify physics, chemistry, and biology into a coherent understanding of living organisms. He argues that life is not separate from other natural phenomena but is instead an organized system of matter and energy transformations. This work is notable for its early attempt to bridge various scientific disciplines in the study of life.
