โœฆ Synopsis

Biology as a scientific discipline has relied heavily upon advances in chemistry and physics. An inherent danger in this relationship is the reduction of living phenomena to physico-chemical terms. Whitehead's 'Philosophy of Organism' is utilized to examine current methodologies within biology and to evaluate their appropriateness for future research. Hemostatic regulation is employed to illustrate the applications of organistic concepts to biological research. It is concluded that understanding of living entities and their properties as well as possibly life itself will require synthesis of the many analytical elements as informational structures.

A. N. Whitehead (1861N. Whitehead ( -1947) ) contributed notably to the foundations of pure and applied mathematics, especially from the late 1890s to the mid 1920s. An algebraist by mathematical tendency, he surveyed several algebras in his book Universal Algebra (1898). Then in the 1900s he joined
