| Description: | Systems biology is a vigorous and expanding discipline, in many ways a successor to genomics and perhaps unprecedented in its combination of biology with a great many other sciences, from physics to ecology, from mathematics to medicine, and from philosophy to chemistry. Studying the philosophical foundations of systems biology may resolve a longer standing issue, i.e., the extent to which Biology is entitled to its own scientific foundations rather than being dominated by existing philosophies.• Answers the question of what distinguishes the living from the non-living• An in-depth look to a vigorous and expanding discipline, from molecule to system• Explores the region between individual components and the system |
