Organism Theory is a fascinating synthesis of decades of interdisciplinary research by the eminent mathematician and biologist Giuseppe Longo. This book represents the result of a unique collaboration between Longo and the philosopher of technology Adam Nosek, and addresses fundamental issues in the history of mathematics, computer science, physics, and theoretical biology. Longo challenges traditional approaches that apply computational and formal models to the biological world, revealing how the limitations of these models hinder understanding the complexity, growth, and evolution of organisms. By critiquing prevailing scientific paradigms, he stresses the need for a new biological theory that takes into account the temporal and spatial complexities of life. Enhanced by Nosek's comprehensive introduction and an engaging three-part interview with Longo, Organism Theory offers a bold reconsideration of the life sciences, incorporating the work of Alan Turing, Bernhard Riemann, Henri Poincaré, Kurt Gödel, and others into Longo's vision of critical biology. This book links scientific and philosophical discourses, and creatively applies insights from mathematics, physics, and computing to the study of the organism to offer a new theoretical approach to understanding biological complexity that resists mechanistic and informational-reductionist explanations.
