The convolvulus and the lily : a case-study in the history of reception

The intricate relationship between morphology and history plays a crucial role in Darwin\u2019s evolutionary theory since his first major work, The Origins of the Species (1859). The paper explores the distant roots of Darwin\u2019s reflections on rudimentary characters: a theme in which morphology and history intersect. Darwin\u2019s debate, both implicit and explicit, with his scientific interlocutors, starting from Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, led him to explain rudimentary characters on the basis of a linguistic model, which turned morphology into history: a path-breaking solution

Como conclusao, o texto comenta a tentativa de Paul Ricoeur de cobrir a distância entre a memoria, a historia e o esquecimento, assim como suas controversas implicacoes politicas
