O desenvolvimento embrionário na perspectiva da filosofia da biologia: o início da vida na relação evolutiva biológica do corpo humano e conceitos espiritualistas

Abstract

The work in question analyzes, from the perspective of the philosophy of biology, aspects related to biological processes on cellular modeling and the consequent constitution of biological bodies. It also relates the condition of so-called spiritual issues to the composition of spirit and body, from a philosophical perspective. As a methodology, this research is qualitative, comparing spiritualist works with the biological conditions of the body, and will study philosophers and thinkers about the body and spiritual structure, such as Plato, Merleau-Ponty, Bergson, Allan Kardec, Léon Denis, and others. From a metaphysical point of view, the work analyzes the issue of human finitude, and the notion and reality of death directs us to the primordial meaning of life. It is important to note that for embryonic cells and in other stages of cell differentiation for the expression of life, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid) are essential for the production of proteins, for example, which act as signaling molecules that promote cell communication. Thus, inductive interactions occur for the organization of cell fates, with an inducer producing and a responder to the signal. In other words, modeling is a complex but effective process in biological evolution. There will be harmony in the construction of a body. However, we can question whether the process of animal life is established by the action of a soul? A biological and spiritual life force? Is what leads to body shaping genetic, just biological or another transcendental factor? These are questions that require a more careful analysis in order to achieve new perspectives on life and human and animal body shaping. Aspects of spiritualist knowledge in general will also be considered in order to analyze life and the survival of the spirit after death and its evolving spiritual implications, as well as perispiritual processes. In this context, the body is established through the varied interactions of biological and spiritual elements so that it can materialize as life.
