«¿Qué es la vida?» is the science and philosophy essay by Erwin Schrödinger, published by Tusquets Editores S.A. in paperback (144 pages, in Spanish).
The physicist Erwin Schrödinger, a Nobel laureate, starts from a simple and fundamental question to inquire whether life violates the laws of physics or whether these are still insufficient to explain it. With a popularizing approach, he brings the concept of thermodynamic order closer to that of biological complexity and raises the relationship between determinism and chance in the face of freedom, individual responsibility, and creativity.
The book was first published in 1944 and arose from lectures given by the author at the Institute for Advanced Studies of Trinity College Dublin in February 1943. This Tusquets edition belongs to the Metatemas collection.
Aimed at readers interested in science, philosophy, and the great classics of scientific popularization.
