Life Itself (book)

"Life Itself" is a book by Robert Rosen that explores the nature of living systems and what makes life unique. It examines how biological organisms are complex, self-organizing, and capable of showing purpose and adaptation. Rosen introduces innovative ideas about the architecture of life, emphasizing the importance of relationships, causality, and information in living processes. The book challenges traditional views by suggesting that understanding life requires considering its organization and interactions rather than just its chemical components. Overall, it offers a scientific perspective on the fundamental principles that distinguish living systems from non-living matter.
