A collection of twenty articles on the nature of life and on the objective of the natural sciences. It challenges the paradox of the brain as organism and the receptacle of scientific reasoning. It also reflects on the quandary of side effects, moments when science confronts unpredicted outgrowths of a process thought to be reduced to a system.
