Abstract
H.S. Burr and F.S.C. Northrop. The Electro-Dynamic Theory of Life, 1935 Description H.S. Burr and F.S.C. Northrop. The Electro-Dynamic Theory of Life, 1935 Harold Saxton Burr (1889 – 1973) was E. K. Hunt Professor of Anatomy at Yale University School of Medicine and researcher into bio-electrics. Burr's research contributed to the electrical detection of cancer cells, experimental embryology, neuroanatomy, and the regeneration and development of the nervous system. His studies of the bio-electrics of ovulation and menstruation eventually led to the marketing of fertility-indicating devices. His late studies of the electrodynamics of trees, carried out over decades, suggested entrainment to diurnal, lunar and annual cycles. He also contributed a few papers on the history and sociology of his field. Filmer Stuart Cuckow Northrop (1893 - 1992) was an American legal philosopher and influential comparative philosopher. After receiving a B.A. from Beloit College in 1915, and an MA from Yale University in 1919, he went on to Harvard University where he earned another MA in 1922 and a Ph.D. in 1924.[1] At Harvard, Northrop studied under Alfred North Whitehead. He was appointed to the Yale faculty in 1923 as an instructor in Philosophy, and later was named professor in 1932. In 1947 he was appointed Sterling Professor of Philosophy and Law. He chaired the Philosophy department from 1938 to 1940 and was the first Master of Silliman College, from 1940 to 1947. He was the author of twelve books and innumerable articles on all major branches of philosophy. His most influential work, The Meeting of East and West, was published in 1946 at the aftermath of World War II. Its central thesis is that East and West both must learn something from each other to avoid future conflict and to flourish together. His jurisprudence work primarily concerned sociological jurisprudence. Publication Date 1935 Publisher University of Chicago Press City Chicago Keywords H.S. Burr, F.S.C. Northrop
