Is there life on other worlds? These questions, until recently confined to the pages of speculative essays and tabloid headlines, are now the subject of legitimate scientific research. This book presents a unique perspective--a combined historical, scientific, and philosophical analysis, which does justice to the complex nature of the subject. The book's first part offers an overview of the main ideas on the origin of life as they developed from antiquity until the twentieth century. The second, more detailed part of the book examines contemporary theories and major debates within the origin-of-life scientific community. \u003cbr\u003e Topics include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Aristotle and the Greek atomists' conceptions of the organism \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Alexander Oparin and J.B.S.
