This book demonstrates how and why vitalism - the idea that life
cannot be explained by the principles of mechanism - matters now.
Vitalism resists closure and reductionism in the life sciences
whilst simultaneously addressing the object of life itself. The aim
of this collection is to consider the questions that vitalism makes
it possible to ask: questions about the role and status of life
across the sciences, social sciences and humanities and questions
about contingency, indeterminacy, relationality and change. All
have special importance now, as the concepts of complexity,
artificial life and artificial intelligence, information theory and
cybernetics become increasingly significant in more and more fields
of activity.
