Principles of Quantitative Living Systems Science, the first of a planned series of three books, begins an attempt to fulfill that prediction. The view that living things are similar to other parts of the physical world, differing only in their complexity, was explicitly stated in the early years of the twentieth century by the biologist Ludwig von Bertalanffy. His ideas could not be published until the end of the war in Europe in the 1940s. Von Bertalanffy was strongly opposed to vitalism, the theory current among biologists at the time that life could only be explained by recourse to a “vital principle” or God. He c- sidered living things to be a part of the natural order, “systems” like atoms and molecules and planetary systems. Systems were described as being made up of a number of interrelated and interdependent parts, but because of the interrelation | | 出版日期 | Book 2002 | | 关键词 | animals; behavior; development; equation; evolution; form; information; measure; organization; time | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/b116791 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4757-8627-9 | | isbn_ebook | 978-0-306-46966-4Series ISSN 1574-0463 Series E-ISSN 2698-5497 | | issn_series | 1574-0463 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media New York 2002 |
