What Is Life? (1944)
In order not to lose our way, it may be useful to outline the plan very briefly in advance.
The large and important and very much discussed question is:
How can the events in space and time which take place within the spatial boundary of a living organism be accounted for by physics and chemistry?
The preliminary answer which this little book will endeavour to expound and establish can be summarized as follows:
The obvious inability of present-day physics and chemistry to account for such events is no reason at all for doubting that they can be accounted for by those sciences. （ibid, p. 6)
