Description
Recent advances in our understanding of life's nature and origin suggest that information might hold the key to unravelling its mystery. This book brings together fresh insights from a broad range of experts, covering philosophy, biology, chemistry, physics, and cognitive and social sciences, to explore the transition from matter to life. A unique cross-disciplinary perspective provides a new way to look at the deepest questions of existence. The role of information in life is examined, and how it can make a difference to what we know about the world. This book offers insights into the nature of life and its origins that touch on nearly every domain of science, making it an essential read for students, researchers, and anyone interested in understanding the fundamental questions of existence. By reconciling the conceptual schism between physical and biological systems, this book addresses a long-standing challenge in our understanding of the world. Its unique blend of expertise and perspectives makes it a valuable resource for those seeking to understand the nature of life and its origins.
