The book drives to the heart of the exciting debate on the origins of life and maintenance of order in complex biological systems. It focuses on the concept of self-organization: the spontaneous emergence of order that is widely observed throughout nature Kauffman argues that self-organization plays an important role in the Darwinian process of n 606 $aEvolution -- Philosophy 606 $aLife -- Origin 606 $aMolecular evolution 606 $aSelf-organizing systems 615 4$aEvolution -- Philosophy. 615 4$aLife -- Origin. 615 4$aMolecular evolution. 615 4$aSelf-organizing systems. 676 $a575 676 $a577 700 $aKauffman$b Stuart A$061682 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790057703321 996 $aOrigins of Order$9375503 997 $aUNINA
