About the Book

Life is constructive effort, the maintenance work of biological system on itself (feeding and reproduction, as well as cognition are the particulars of it) through which potential energy is replenished. This way the thermodynamic energy - work - energy circuit is unfolded in directional evolution; the holistic output of countless individual contributions, meaningful thereof. We inherit potential energy as ectropic gift from evolution to be enriched with personal life experience epigenetically assimilated and transmitted to successors. An increment of potential energy is converted into structural complexity requiring multilevel regulation, metaphysical on top. The value of individual life increases, and this is progress, with most action invested in potentialities rather than commodities. Reduced upon the principle of least action, life is meaningless; somebody's intention, with free will scarcely exercised. What is not used tends to be lost. This is why strange love for natural selection has to be put to an end. The coherence of thermodynamic volume − internal energy − entropy (biomas − diversity − dead mass) production and complimentarity of life styles are systemic principles valid for all structural levels from genome regulation to cognitive creativity. Earth's rotation links our sleeping hours and artistic aspirations to mountain building and sea level drops. For life as a whole the Galactic whirlpool is the common pacer. It is not a matter of chance that we all are in the same boat. To keep it afloat, having a meaningful evolution theory is more pragmatic than throwing less fit overboard or random flapping paddles.
