Review of: General biology and philosophy of organism

Reviews General biology and philosophy of organism , by Ralph S. Lillie (1945). The question--What is life?--constitutes the central theme of Professor Lillie's book. That he is well qualified to discuss this problem will be denied by few; that he has been successful in his attempt to formulate an answer will be denied by many. Perhaps the chief merit of the work is in the possibility that it will stimulate further research on the problem from which an unequivocal solution may be derived.
