About the Book

A bold reimagining of life that bridges science, philosophy, cybernetics, and the complexities of biological existence The Organism Is a Theory is an intriguing synthesis of decades of interdisciplinary research by eminent mathematician and biological scientist Giuseppe Longo. A unique collaboration between Longo and philosopher of technology Adam Nocek, the volume confronts foundational issues in the history of mathematics, computer science, physics, and theoretical biology. Challenging conventional approaches that apply computational and formalist models to the biological world, Longo reveals how the limitations of these models hinder the understanding of organismic complexity, development, and evolution. Through a critique of dominant scientific paradigms, he emphasizes the need for a new biological theory that accounts for the temporal and spatial intricacies of life. Enhanced by Nocek's comprehensive introduction and a fascinating three-part interview with Longo, The Organism Is a Theory offers a bold rethinking of the biosciences, integrating the work of Alan Turing, Bernhard Riemann, Henri Poincare, Kurt Gdel, and others into Longo's vision of critical biology. Bridging scientific and philosophical discourses, this book creatively applies insights from mathematics, physics, and computing into the study of the organism to present a new theoretical approach to understanding biological complexity that resists reductive mechanistic and informatic explanations. Retail e-book files for this title are screen-reader friendly with image accompanied by short alt text and/or extended description.

About the Author :
Giuseppe Longo is Research Director Emeritus at the National Center for Scientific Research in France and the author or coauthor of five books and more than one hundred peer-reviewed scientific articles. Adam Nocek is associate professor of the philosophy of technology and science and technology studies at Arizona State University. He is coeditor of The Lure of Whitehead and author of Molecular Capture: The Animation of Biology, both from Minnesota.

Review :
"A methodological reconsideration of scientific paradigms, The Organism Is a Theory intersects physical-mathematical theory with philosophy in the humanities. Giuseppe Longo and Adam Nocek's strong collaborative effort spurs wide-ranging and perplexing questions, successful in both its pedagogical mission and philosophical ambitions."--Thomas Lamarre, University of Chicago
