In this thought-provoking book, Denis Noble formulates the theory
of biological relativity, emphasising that living organisms operate
at multiple levels of complexity and must therefore be analysed
from a multi-scale, relativistic perspective. Noble explains that
all biological processes operate by means of molecular, cellular
and organismal networks. The interactive nature of these
fundamental processes is at the core of biological relativity and,
as such, challenges simplified molecular reductionism. Noble shows
that such an integrative view emerges as the necessary consequence
of the rigorous application of mathematics to biology. Drawing on
his pioneering work in the mathematical physics of biology, he
shows that what emerges is a deeply humane picture of the role of
the organism in constraining its chemistry, including its genes, to
serve the organism as a whole, especially in the interaction with
its social environment. This humanistic, holistic approach
challenges the common gene-centred view held by many in modern
biology and culture.
