Название: Life Sciences, Information Sciences Автор: Thierry Gaudin, Dominique Lacroix Издательство: Wiley Год: 2018 ISBN: 9781119516606 Серия: Information Systems, Web and Pervasive Computing Формат: pdf Страниц: 400 Размер: 18,6 mb Язык: English
The contributors to this edited volume explore life and information on an equal footing, with each considered as crucial to the other. In the first part of the book, the relation of life and information in the functioning of genes, at both the phylogenetic and ontogenetic levels, is articulated and the common understanding of DNA as code is problematized from a range of perspectives. The second part of the book homes in on the algorithmic nature of information, questioning the fit between life and automaton and the accompanying division between individualization and invariance.
Consisting of both philosophical speculation and ethological research, the explorations in this book are a timely intervention into prevailing understandings of the relation between information and life.
