More DescriptionAnti-Chance: A Reply to Monod's Chance and Necessity reflects the most fundamental biological facts about human behavior, representing constants that are difficult to modify by religious, moral or social constraints. This book provides a simplistic view which neglects the profound meaning of physico-chemical determinism and most elementary rules of structuration of biological systems. The topics discussed include the probabilities of chance, thermodynamics and biological order, basis for a theoretical biology, and great inventions. The molecular basis of instinct, speech and consciousness, cybernetics and biology, and the structure of chance are also deliberated in this text. This publication is beneficial to students and researchers interested in the analysis of human affairs.
