Description
Henri Atlan's Selected Writings brings together the major strands of his work in a comprehensive collection. A pioneer in theories of self-organization and complexity, Atlan has made significant contributions to contemporary European philosophical and bio-ethical debates.
This volume presents an exceptionally powerful philosophical argumentation that challenges scientism while maintaining a rigorous approach to biology's conceptual and experimental rigor. It offers a unique perspective on the human place in a world marked by radical change and determination.
Ideal for those seeking to understand the joint stakes and shared import of philosophy and science, this collection is an indispensable resource for navigating questions of life and the living - today and tomorrow.
