Theoretical Principles of Relational Biology: Space, Time, Organization: Human Perspectives in Health Sciences and Technology, cartea 6

Autor Angelo Marinucci
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 sep 2023
This book proposes the foundation of the relational approach to biology, rejecting the deterministic and reductionist approach of molecular biology. Although biology has made enormous progress in the last seventy years, onto genesis is still conceived as a “revelation” of information (DNA). Recovering the geometric tradition, relational biology conceives scientific and epistemological tools (cause, probability, space etc.) of science in a new way. If probabilistic biology and organicism still proposes a biology based on physics, with a fundamental invariant, relational biology is based on variation: its fundamental invariant is variation, one of the most important elements of life. This is an indispensable book for academics who consider biology from a new theoretical approach, in particular for those working in the domains of cancer, ontogenesis and evolution.

Notă biografică

Angelo Mariucci was born in Sulmona, Italy, in 1978 and obtained his Ph.D. in Philosophy in Pisa in 2010. Over the last years he taught and worked in the Universidade Estadual de Campinas and in the Universidade Federal de Pelotas. He scurrently affiliated to the Universidade Estadual de Campinas. Professor Marinucci’s main research interests lie in theoretical biology, history of science as well as in its applications to ethics . He published articles and books on the history and philosophy of physics and biology (Marinucci 2011, Marinucci, Salvia, Bellotti 2021). Starting from the collaboration with the CIM ("Complexité et information morphologiques" CNRS - École Normale Supérieure, Paris), his main interest lies in elaborating a biology not reducible to physics.




Textul de pe ultima copertă

This book proposes the foundation of the relational approach to biology, rejecting the deterministic and reductionist approach of molecular biology. Although biology has made enormous progress in the last seventy years, onto genesis is still conceived as a “revelation” of information (DNA). Recovering the geometric tradition, relational biology conceives scientific and epistemological tools (cause, probability, space etc.) of science in a new way. If probabilistic biology and organicism still proposes a biology based on physics, with a fundamental invariant, relational biology is based on variation: its fundamental invariant is variation, one of the most important elements of life. This is an indispensable book for academics who consider biology from a new theoretical approach, in particular for those working in the domains of cancer, ontogenesis and evolution.

Caracteristici

Proposes a new theoretical approach to biology, i.e. relational biology Conceives science for the first time as starting from a principle of variation Understands biology as preserving the singularity of each living being
