What Is Life? with Mind and Matter and Autobiographical Sketches
Description
This volume brings together three essential facets of Erwin Schrödinger’s thought: his influential inquiry into the physical foundations of life, his philosophical exploration of consciousness and the relationship between mind and matter, and a series of autobiographical reflections. Drawing on physics, biology, and philosophy, it examines how order, heredity, perception, and subjective experience challenge conventional boundaries between the sciences and the humanities. Written with clarity and intellectual ambition, these essays reveal why Schrödinger’s ideas helped inspire the emergence of molecular biology while continuing to provoke debate about the nature of life and consciousness. The autobiographical sketches add a personal dimension, placing his scientific and philosophical investigations within the broader story of his life and work.
