The authors highlight Loeb's organizational actions \u0026amp; political opinions during the years of 1906 to 1924, the year he died. As a social activist \u0026amp; scientist, Loeb influenced the scientific community, the politically sensitive public, \u0026amp; ultimately the population against conservative \u0026amp; reactionary attitudes toward race, ethnicity, poverty, criminality, war \u0026amp; religion.\" He took positions on WW 1, social activism, his influence on the economist Thorstein Veblen \u0026amp; finally philosophy \u0026amp; politics. Loeb was hailed early in his career for his work on spontaneous generation of marine embryos \u0026amp; recognized later for his active challenge to social intolerance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"American Philosophical Society Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47614677155991,"sku":"9780871692290","price":4466.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780871692290.webp?v=1775095455","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/jacques-loeb-his-science-and-social-activism-and-their-philosophical-foundation-memoirs-american-philosophical-society-vol-229-9780871692290","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
