Zoonomia; or the Laws of Organic Life is a two-volume medical work by Erasmus Darwin dealing with pathology, anatomy, psychology, and the functioning of the body. Its primary framework is one of associationist psychophysiology. The book is famous for its early ideas relating to the theory of evolution, specifically forms of developmentalism similar to Lamarckism. The first volume is divided into 40 sections, on a range of topics related to the body, the senses, and disease. He classifies bodily and sensory motions as "irritative," "sensitive," "voluntary," and "associative." He presents theories on the production and classes of ideas, and seeks to explain the causes and mechanisms of sleep, reverie, vertigo, and drunkenness. He then discusses anatomy, especially the operation of the circulatory system and various glands. The second volume, published in 1796, is focused on classifying diseases into classes, orders, and genera. The book is divided into four major sections, based on his four classes of disease: diseases of irritation, sensation, volition, and association.

Excerpt from Zoonomia, or the Laws of Organic Life, Vol. 1 of 2: In Three Parts The purport of the following pages is an endeavour to reduce the facts belonging to animal life into claffes, orders, genera, and fpecies and, by comparing them with each other, to unravel the theory of difeafes. It happened, perhaps unfortunately for the inquirers in to the knowledge of difeafes, that other fciences had re ceived improvement previous to their own; whence, in fiead of comparing the properties belonging to animated nature with each other, they, idly ingenious, bufied them felves in attempting to explain the laws of life by thofe of mechanifm and chemiftry they confidered the body as an hydraulic machine, and the fluids as pafling through a feries of chemical changes, forgetting that animation was its efienfial characteriftic.
