ISSUES IN SCIENCE AND THEOLOGY WHAT IS LIFE? GE...

This book explores the concept of Life from a range of perspectives. Divided into three parts 
it first examines the concept of Life from physics to biology. It then presents insights on the
concept from the perspectives of philosophy  theology  and ethics. The book concludes with
chapters on the hermeneutics of Life  and pays special attention to the Biosemiotics approach
to the concept. The question 'What is Life?' has been deliberated by the greatest minds
throughout human history. Life as we know it is not a substance or fundamental property  but a
complex process. It is not an easy task to develop an unequivocal approach towards Life
combining scientific  semiotic  philosophical  theological  and ethical perspectives. In its
combination of these perspectives  and its wide-ranging scope  this book opens up levels and
identifies issues which can serve as intersections for meaningful interdisciplinary discussions
of Life in its different aspects. The book includes the four plenary lectures and selected 
revised and extended papers from workshops of the 14th European Conference on Science and
Theology (ECST XIV) held in Tartu  Estonia  April 2012.
