Snippets from dialogues over the past four years between serving scholars of the Princeton Bhakti Vedanta Institute (NJ, USA) and Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Institute (WB, India), and contemporary scientists and philosophers, frame this year's Science & Scientist conference topic.
Clarifications between 'pragmatic systems biology' and 'systems-theoretic biology,' as well as between 'reductionism' and 'reduction,' are offered.
00:40 | Prof. MRN Murthy (Crystallographer, Institute of Bioinformatics and Applied Biotechnology, Bangalore, India) and Dr. B Niskama Shanta (Serving Scholar, BVI and SCSI) consider the relevance and value of reductionism.
04:20 | Prof. Brian J Ford (Cell Biologist, Fellow of Cardiff University, UK) Dr. Bernardo Kastrup (Computer Scientist, Executive Director of Essentia Foundation), and Dr. Denis Noble (Professor Emeritus and co-Director of Computational Physiology, Oxford University, UK) discuss the limitations of reductionism, the cognitive behavior of living entities, and the top-down influence that higher levels of biological organization have on lower levels.
11:27 | Dr. J Scott Turner (Emeritus Professor of Biology, State University of New York, USA), Dr. B Madhava Puri (Serving Director, BVI, and Founding Director, SCSI), and Dr. Robert M Wallace (Hegelian scholar and author) advocate the necessity of philosophy in scientific understanding. Dr. Puri and Prof. Ford consider (1) the inability of current science to properly explain the development of living entities (how unmanifest properties become actualized) and (2) the different perspectives of cell biology and organismic biology.
