  1. 1. Heraclitean Fire

    Sketches — Biological and Philosophical

    A trenchant collection of essays and aphorisms that mixes memoir, scientific critique and moral reflection; the writer confronts the hubris and commercialization of 20th-century science, rejects reductionist and genetic determinism, and laments the erosion of intellectual and ethical standards while offering sharp, literary meditations on truth, culture and human responsibility.
