    Investigations

    Stuart A. Kauffman · 2000

    "A tour-de-force exploration of the very essence of life itself, with conclusions that radically undermine the scientific approaches on which modern science rests; the approches of Newton, Boltzman, Boht and Einstein."--Cover.

      Stuart Kauffman has a similar view. See his books Investigations and Reinventing the Sacred.

      -"Investigations", by Stuart Kauffman
