Abstract


I will not deal with Lamarck's theory of evolution, nor with other aspects of his work that usually first spring to mind when one thinks of the heritage that he left us. Instead I will discuss less well-known aspects of his thinking, namely the theory of classifications and the holistic approach to the biosphere, which in my opinion have not been sufficiently appreciated.
