Lebensnetz by Fritjof Capra
A New Scientific Understanding of Living Systems
A concise, systems-based account arguing that life is best understood not as a collection of separate parts but as networks of relationships whose properties emerge from patterns of organization; it replaces the mechanistic, reductionist worldview with concepts from ecology, complexity theory and cybernetics—self-organization, autopoiesis and nonlinear dynamics—to explain how cells, organisms, ecosystems and societies function. The book draws connections among biology, physics and social sciences and explores practical implications for medicine, economics and environmental policy, advocating an ecological, holistic perspective that emphasizes interdependence and sustainability.
