Compiling twenty articles on the nature of life and on the objective of
the natural sciences, this remarkable book complements Robert Rosen's
groundbreaking Life Itself -- a work that influenced a wide range of
philosophers, biologists, linguists, and social scientists. In Essays
on Life Itself, Rosen takes to task the central objective of the
natural sciences, calling into question the attempt to create
objectivity in a subjective world and forcing us to reconsider where
science can lead us in the years to come.
