Description
Biological Organization is a comprehensive philosophical examination of one of biology’s most central yet often taken-for-granted concepts. Leonardo Bich investigates how organization functions as a defining characteristic of living systems and explores its theoretical foundations.
The work addresses fundamental questions about what makes something ‘alive’ and how biological organization differs from mere physical arrangement. Bich analyzes various philosophical approaches to understanding organization, including systems theory, emergence, and complexity. He considers how organization relates to other key biological concepts such as metabolism, reproduction, and adaptation.
Published by Cambridge University Press as part of the Elements in the Philosophy of Biology series, this concise yet rigorous treatment provides both students and researchers with essential insights into one of biology’s core principles. The book bridges philosophy and biology, making it valuable for those seeking to understand the conceptual foundations of biological science.
