SELF AND THE PHENOMENON OF LIFE [PDF ebook] 
A Biologist Examines Life from Molecules to Humanity

Ondersteuning

The book describes a common ground between the biology of life and the humanity of life without compromising either discipline. It attempts to bridge the gap between our ’two cultures’ — the sciences and the humanities, as advocated by C P Snow fifty years ago. This book connects our meager existence to the entire living world and the universe, physically and spiritually, through the simple perspective of ‘self, ‘ being defined as a system that seeks its own perpetuation.
