A Philosophical Testament by Marjorie Grene

A reflective account of a lifetime of philosophical inquiry that surveys existence, science, and value, arguing against reductive naturalism and for a more holistic, organism-centered and phenomenological approach that preserves human freedom and meaning; combining memoir, essay, and critical analysis, it defends the autonomy of philosophical reflection while urging closer engagement with biological science and treating philosophy as a practical, ethical endeavor rather than a mere conceptual system.
