A distinguished physicists exploration of the question which lies at the heart of biology  it was written for the layman  but proved one of the spurs to the birth of molecular biology and the subsequent discovery of the structure of DNA. The philosopher Karl Popper hailed it as a beautiful and important book by a great man to whom I owe a personal debt for many exciting discussions. It appears here together with Mind and Matter  his essay investigating a relationship which has eluded and puzzled philosophers since the earliest times. Schrodinger asks what place consciousness occupies in the evolution of life  and what part the state of development of the human mind plays in moral questions. Brought together with these two classics are Schrdingers autobiographical sketches  published and translated here for the first time. They offer a fascinating fragmentary account of his life as a background to his scientific writings  making this volume a valuable additon to the shelves of scientist and layman alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44945958207541,"sku":"ByrdShop_0521427088","price":30.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780521427081.jpg?v=1769916352","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/what-is-life-with-mind-and-matter-and-autobiographical-sketches","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
