- W2009348546 abstract "According to the reference books of a decade ago, ecology meant for the most part a study of plants and their surroundings. It is not easy to arrive at a full understanding of the then ecological conception for it seems to have carried with it a great deal of the older philosophy from which it sprang. While the early history of the concept is probably lost to us f orever, there are not wanting indications that the ecological idea was conceived in the same atmosphere as the theory of design, or of purposeful adaptation. However that may be, the effort on the part of later professors of ecology has been to eschew all such philosophies except the fundamental assumption that plants and the rest of nature are intricately interdependent one upon the other. The empirical method of science is then appealed to as a technique by which it is hoped that particularistic relations between some plant and some specific aspect of nature may be demonstrated. There is no denying, however, that the true ecologist is hoping for some illuminating laws, or formulations in terms of sequential events, of universal application to plant life and nature. Yet, the tendency seems to have been to seek in some one general aspect of nature the determiners of plant form and distribution, and on the other hand to attempt an enumeration of the associations of other living forms with plants. Yet I am well aware that ecology, as now considered, is not primarily a matter of vegetables, but that one may begin the study of ecology from a zoological horizon. It was suggested, and in fact quite obviously implied, in the invitation tendered me by your society, that someone had gone to such lengths as to extend the ecological conception to men. Yet, whatever may be the real facts, it remains that the history and vicissitudes of anthropology have not been so very different from that of ecology. Ecology, for example, began with plants, but by the very nature of its fundamental assumption," @default.
