The most remarkable history of biology that has ever been written.--Michel Foucault Nobel Prize-winning scientist François Jacob's The Logic of Life is a landmark book in the history of biology and science. Focusing on heredity which Jacob considers the fundamental feature of living things he shows how since the sixteenth century the scientific understanding of inherited traits has moved not in a linear progressive way from error to truth but instead through a series of frameworks. He reveals how these successive interpretive approaches--focusing on visible structures internal structures (especially cells) evolution genes and DNA and other molecules--each have their own power but also limitations. Fundamentally challenging how the history of biology is told much as Thomas Kuhn's Structure of Scientific Revolutions did for the history of science as a whole The Logic of Life has greatly influenced the way scientists and historians view the past present and future of biology.
