Jean Gayon "Synthèse des travaux"
- origin of life
- definition of life: operational, philosophical activity
essentialism "What is x?"
not define words but propose a hypothesis and explain through the hypothesis
All definition is provisional.
Why should we bother with definition?
Just talk about it, but not define it. This is not enough?
historical vs. nomological science
science based on the law vs. science based on the data historically unique
Is there a borderline between philosophy & science? NO!
