metadata.value: From his earliest published writings to his last, Roman Ingarden displayed an interest in theoretical
  biology and its efforts to clarify what distinguishes living organisms from other types of entities. However, many of his explorations of such issues are easily overlooked, because they don’t appear in works
  that are primarily ontological, metaphysical, or anthropological in nature but are “hidden” within his
  works on literary aesthetics, where Ingarden sought to define the nature of living organisms in order to
  compare literary works to such entities. This article undertakes a historical textual analysis that traces
  the evolution of Ingarden’s thought regarding the nature of the literary work of art as an organism-like
  entity and uncovers its links with the simultaneous development of his systems theory and its central
  concept of the “relatively isolated system”: for Ingarden, a literary work and an organism are each a systematically transforming, “living,” functional-structural whole that comprises a system of hierarchically arranged and partially isolated (yet interdependent) elements whose harmonious interaction allows
  the literary work or organism to fulfill its chief function. Having completed that historical analysis, we
  test Ingarden’s assessment of works of art as organism-like entities in a novel context by investigating
  the organism-like qualities of the contemporary computer game; insofar as their AI-driven behavior
  displays a form of agency, such games might appear to be even more “alive” than traditional works
  of art. We show that Ingarden’s conceptual framework provides a useful tool for understanding the
  “organicity” of such games as works of art, despite the fact that they differ qualitatively from those art
  forms with which Ingarden was directly familiar.
