The Biology of Wonder: Aliveness, Feeling, and the Metamorphosis of Science

In The Biology of Wonder, scientist Andreas Weber reframes this fundamental enigma by arguing that all living beings, like humans, are not biological machines, but living, creative agents fueled by meaning and expression. Weber proposes a new approach–the development of a “poetic ecology”–which intimately attaches the human species to every being and underpins the entire range of human experience. He argues that feelings and emotions, far from being superfluous to the study of organisms, are the very foundation of life.
