What Is Life? The Intellectual Pertinence of Erwin Schrödinger

"For those who have read Schrödinger's lectures, I recommend this book as a sophisticated discussion of the issues he raises." - David Lorimer (Network Review) "This volume expands our understanding of the astonishingly broad application of Erwin Schrödinger's thought to contemporary science and philosophy, and it does so in a stimulating, original, and thoroughly engrossing way. It is both a compelling read and a treasure house of insights on the enduring relevance of Schrödinger's singular scientific genius." - Gregory Maertz "In this most recent reexamination of Schrodinger's seminal work, Stanford University professors (two of literate, a pathologist, and a physicist) give the reader new and important insights into the thought of the man who helped shape a great deal of the 20th century. A must have for any student of science and philosophy. Extensive notes and references give added value to this work. . . Highly recommended." - C. G. Wood (Choice) "An imaginative and highly interdisciplinary invitation to rethink the work of Erwin Schrödinger, one of the most remarkable scientist-philosophers of the last two hundred years. Each author brings a different perspective-two from the humanities, two from the sciences. And the whole turns out to be even more than the sum of its parts, thanks to its well-defined focus on Schrödinger's thought." - Peter Galison
