He Was Born In Livorno To Giacomo Rignano And Fortunata Tedesco Into A Jewish Family. Rignano Edited The Journal Rivista Di Scienza Later Known As Scientia It. His Book The Psychology Of Reasoning 1923 Influenced The Social Anthropologist Edward Evans-Pritchard. His Book Man Not A Machine 1926 Was Replied To By Joseph Needham's Man A Machine 1927. Rignano Took Interest In Biology And Wrote A Book That Argued For The Inheritance Of Acquired Characteristics. He Advanced A Moderated Lamarckian Hypothesis Of Inheritance Known As "Centro-Epigenesis". His Views Were Controversial And Not Accepted By Most In The Scientific Community. His Book The Nature Of Life 1930 Was Described In A Review As Presenting A "Militant At Times Almost An Evangelical Exposition And Defense Of An Energetic Vitalism." However Historian Peter J. Bowler Has Written That Rignano Rejected Both Materialism And Vitalism And Adopted A Similar Position To What Was Known As Emergent Evolution. Li Dazhao One Of The Founders Of The China Communist Party Was An Avid Reader Of Rignano's Works And Chinese Communist Emphasis On Absolute Control Of All Conduct May Be Influenced By The Belief That It Will Result In Changed Behavior Forever In Future Generations Their Stated Goal. . Rignano's Views On Acquired Characteristics And Organic Memory Are Discussed In Detail By Historian Laura Otis And Psychologist Daniel Schacter. The Finding That The Immune System Does Indeed Acquire Inheritable Characteristics Puts Much Of The Lamarckian Debate Into A New And Politically Distressing Light. <br/> <br/> The Open Court Publishing Co hardcover
