Neubauer developed a concept known as "eidetic biology" (from the Greek eidos , meaning form). This theory views biological forms not as mere mechanical outcomes, but as "archetypes" or "fields of possibilities". He argued that biology should celebrate the morphological transformations and individual singularity of life forms.
