Robert Rosen was not only a biologist, he was also a brilliant
mathematician whose extraordinary contributions to theoretical
biology were tremendous. Founding, with this book, the area of
Anticipatory Systems Theory is a remarkable outcome of his work in
theoretical biology. This second edition of his book Anticipatory
Systems, has been carefully revised and edited, and includes an
Introduction by Judith Rosen. It has also been expanded with a set
of Prolegomena by Dr. Mihai Nadin, who offers an historical survey
of this fast growing field since the original work was published.
There is also some exciting new work, in the form of an additional
chapter on the Ontology of Anticipation, by Dr. John Kineman. An
addendum-- with autobiographical reminiscences by Robert Rosen,
himself, and a short story by Judith Rosen about her father-- adds
a personal touch. This work, now available again, serves as the
guiding foundations for the growing field of Anticipatory Systems
and, indeed, any area of science that deals with living organisms
in some way, including the study of Life and Mind. It will also be
of interest to graduate students and researchers in the field of
Systems Science.
