Description: What is Life? On Earth and Beyond by Andreas Losch Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This volume explores the big questions surrounding the secret of life, from a multidisciplinary perspective. It presents the emerging discipline of astrobiology and reflects on the contributions that philosophy and theology can make in constructive dialog with the sciences. Publisher Description Approaches from the sciences, philosophy and theology, including the emerging field of astrobiology, can provide fresh perspectives to the age-old question what is life?. Has the secret of life been unveiled and is it nothing more than physical chemistry? Modern philosophers will ask if we can even define life at all, as we still dont know much about its origins here on Earth. Others regard life as something that cannot simply be reduced to just physics and chemistry, while biologists emphasize the historical component intrinsic to life on Earth. How can theology constructively interpret scientific findings? Can it contribute constructively to scientific discussions? Written for a broad interdisciplinary audience, this probing volume discusses life, intelligence and more against the background of contemporary biology and the wider contexts of astrobiology and cosmology. It also considers the challenging implications for science and theology if extraterrestrial life is discovered in the future.
