这是一本关于生物学——特别是遗传学——的历史回顾。在书中，弗朗索瓦·雅各布重新考察了生命、时间、偶然、个体这些观念——从宏观到微观再到分子的尺度。 很久以来，人类一直依据外形对生物进行分类。十八世纪之后，人们将目光转向细胞，在细胞内寻找“隐藏的生命建筑”，直到十九世纪发现了基因，二十世纪解析了DNA的双螺旋结构，开启了分子生物学时代。在《生命的逻辑》一书中，雅各布清晰地展示了每一次大规模的认知转变都是一次智识革命，彻底改变了人类对自身在宇宙中置身何处的理解。 本书以遗传学的发展为例，诠释了关于生物系统的普适理论形成的历程，描绘了科学发展的内在逻辑，论述了知识储备、技术条件与想像力如何为科学突破做好了铺垫。 最后，雅各布探讨了我们这个时代仍在面对的若干基本问题：基因在何种程度上塑造了人类的行为？环境与人类的发育是什么关系？人类现在可以决定自己的演化了吗...(展开全部)

Plants embody the most direct, elementary connection that life can establish wit...(展开全部)
