| Summary | "Warum wir sterben" by Dr. Alexander Lipschütz is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work explores the complex relationships between life and death, emphasizing biological perspectives on mortality, the aging process, and the impact of microorganisms on health. Lipschütz presents an in-depth examination of cellular physiology and pathologies, drawing on various scientific theories, including those by notable researchers. The opening of the text introduces the concept of "Bazillenfurcht," or the fear of bacteria, linking it to the broader theme of mortality. Lipschütz discusses the views of Professor Metschnikoff, who suggests that intestinal bacteria contribute to aging and mortality. Through his analysis, the author critiques popular misconceptions about life, health, and the inevitability of death, gradually delving into more intricate scientific explanations. He highlights the challenges of proving the links between bacteria and aging while promoting a perspective that integrates both scientific inquiry and philosophical reflection on death.
