N1  - Includes bibliographical references (p. 139-140) and index; 1. Statement of basic principle -- 2. Statistics and the concept of immensity -- 3. The meaning of logical complexity
N2  - "The time-honored dualism of the mutually exclusive systems of thought, mechanistic biology on the one hand and vitalism on the other, expresses a pair of theoretical approaches which are both inadequate. We shall show how they can be replaced by an abstractly descriptive system of a different type that is far better adapted to the nature of biology"--Pref
